| This one from a friend of mine. Don't think I've heard him do this song before, but I've got it on tape someplace (starts rumagaging through tapes* If you are in Chicago, check him out, upcoming gigs are listed at www.tom-slater.com along with lyrics and a couple of MP3s to sample. This is a cool song, as are most of his :)
BOSSMAN
Words and music by Tom Slater
Well, I’ve gotta bet back to the bossman
Gotta help the bossman relax
Gotta get back and do my job
So the bossman can earn fat checks
I work in the trenches
For a wage that barely pays my bills
I work in the trenches
For a fat cat man who lives a life of frills
Gotta make love to my woman
Yeah, we gotta climb into bed real soon
We gotta get down and do our thang
Before she starts destroying the room
I work in the trenches
‘Cause she tells me to all night long
I work in the trenches
Just know that I’m never doing her wrong
Gotta get back to the bossman
Gotta help the bossman relax
Gotta get back and do my job
So the bossman can earn fat checks
I work in the trenches
I work my fingers until they are raw
I work in the trenches
While de big bossman break a labor law
