Oney - The Hit Crew (热歌组合)[00:00:00]
I dedicate this song to the workin' man [00:00:03]
For ever' man that puts in[00:00:06]
Eight or ten hard hours a day of work and toil and sweat[00:00:07]
Always got somebody lookin' down his neck[00:00:13]
Tryin' to get more out of I'm than he really ought to have to put in[00:00:15]
After twenty-nine long years of workin'[00:00:20]
In this shop with Oney standin' over me[00:00:23]
Today when that old whistle blows[00:00:30]
I'll check in all my gear and I'll retire[00:00:32]
The superintendent just dropped by and said[00:00:39]
They'd planned my little get together[00:00:42]
Then he said I'd never made it[00:00:48]
If old Oney hadn't held me to the fire[00:00:50]
I've seen him in my dreams at night[00:00:57]
And woke up in the mornin' feelin' tired[00:01:00]
And old Oney don't remember when I came here[00:01:06]
How he tried to get me fired[00:01:10]
With his folded hands behind him[00:01:15]
Every mornin' Oney waited at the gate[00:01:18]
Where he'd rant and rave like I committed murder[00:01:24]
Clockin' in five minutes late[00:01:28]
But today they'll gather 'round me[00:01:34]
Like I've seen 'em do when any man retires[00:01:36]
Then old Oney's gonna tell me[00:01:43]
From now on I'm free to do what I desire[00:01:45]
He'll present me with that little old gold watch[00:01:52]
They give a man at times like this[00:01:56]
But there's one thing he's not countin' on[00:02:01]
Today's the day I give old Oney his[00:02:04]
I've been workin' buildin' muscles[00:02:10]
Oney's just been standin' 'round a gettin' soft[00:02:12]
And today about four-thirty[00:02:19]
I'll make up for every good night's sleep I've lost[00:02:22]
When I'm gone I'll be remembered[00:02:29]
As the workin' man that put his point across[00:02:31]
With a right hand full of knuckles[00:02:38]
'Cause today I show old Oney who's the boss [00:02:40]
Hmm what time is it [00:02:45]
Four-thirty[00:02:48]
Hey Oney Oney[00:02:50]
