I have never once been fired
But I’m the first to admit,
When they stop paying me
I get mad and quit.

I didn’t lose my job,
That’s all that there is to it.
I know right where it is
They’ve just got someone else to do it.

I’m not afraid of work,
No matter what they say.
I can lie right down beside it
And sleep away the day.

They said that I should have a goal
That hard work never killed a soul.
A golden rule at one’s first glance
But I refuse to take the chance.
