[Intro]
D
[Chorus]
D
I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay
A
A four day week and a two hour day
A
It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way
D
But I never did like being idle!
[Verse 1]
D
I don’t want glory and I don’t want fame
A
I left the school with a modest aim
A
I went to the Labour Exchange for work
N.C.
Here is what I sang to the wee broo clerk
[Chorus]
D
I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay
A
A four day week and a two hour day
A
It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way
D
But I never did like being idle!
[Verse 2]
D
Now that, says he, is a rare wee song
A
To come from a lad so big and strong
A
Through the door on the left and take this card
N.C.
You can sing to the gaffer down in Harland’s yard
[Chorus]
D
I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay
A
A four day week and a two hour day
A
It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way
D
But I never did like being idle!
[Verse 3]
D
I sang it to the gaffer but he thought me daft
A
I’ve never even heard such a horse’s laugh
A
He gathered around him all his men
N.C.
And as one big choir, they sang then
[Chorus]
D
I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay
A
A four day week and a two hour day
A
It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way
D
But I never did like being idle!
[Verse 4]
D
Their voices rang o’er the riverside
A
And it became the song of the Clyde
A
Its words were heard the whole world round
N.C.
And it was known as the Clydeside Sound
[Chorus]
D
I’m looking for a job with a sky-high pay
A
A four day week and a two hour day
A
It's maybe just because I’m inclined that way
D
But I never did like being idle!
