Lyrics
I'm looking for a job with a sky high pay
A four day week and a two hour day
Maybe it's because I'm inclined that way
But I never did like being idle
Well I don't want glory and I don't want fame
I left school with a modest aim
I went to the labour exchange for work
Here's what I sang to the wee broo clerk
I'm looking for a job with a sky high pay
A four day week and a two hour day
Maybe it's because I'm inclined that way
But I never did like being idle
Now that, he says, is a rare wee song
To come from a lass so big and strong
Through the door on the left and take this card
You can sing it to the gaffer at the Harland's yard
I'm looking for a job with a sky high pay
A four day week and a two hour day
Maybe it's because I'm inclined that way
But I never did like being idle
I sang it to the gaffer and he thought me daft
I've never heard such a horse's laugh
He gathered around him all his men
And as one big choir they sang then
I'm looking for a job with a sky high pay
A four day week and a two hour day
Maybe it's because I'm inclined that way
But I never did like being idle
Their voices rang o'er the riverside
And it became the song of the Clyde
Its words were heard the whole world round
And it was known as the Clydeside sound
I'm looking for a job with a sky high pay
A four day week and a two hour day
Maybe it's because I'm inclined that way
But I never did like being idle
Well I found that job with a sky high pay
A four day week and a two hour day
I can't believe my luck I've never had it so good
I'm a politician down in Holyrood
I'm looking for a job with a sky high pay
A four day week and a two hour day
Maybe it's because I'm inclined that way
But I never did like being idle
I'm looking for a job with a sky high pay
A four day week and a two hour day
Maybe it's because I'm inclined that way
But I never did like being idle
