Hey everybody take a look at me,
I`ve got street credibility,
I may not have a job,
But I have a good time,
With the boys that I meet "down on the line"
I DON`T NEED YOU
So you don`t approve,
Well, who asked you to?
HEY, JERK YOU WORK
This guy`s got better things to do
HELL
I ain`t never gonna work, get down in the dirt
I choose, to cruise
Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife
I`ve found my groove and I just can`t lose
I`m style from head to toe
Cool cat flash gonna let you know
I`m a soul boy - I`m a dole boy -
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy!
[CHORUS:]
WHAM!
BAM!
I AM!
A MAN!
JOB OR NO JOB
YOU CAN`T TELL ME THAT I`M NOT
DO!
YOU!
ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?
IF NOT
JUST STOP!
DON`T STAY THERE AND ROT!
Party nights, and neon lights
We hit the floors, we hit the heights
Dancing shoes, and pretty girls
Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls!
Hot - damn! Everybody, let`s play!
So they promised you a good job - NO WAY!
One, two, three, rap!
C`mon everybody, DON`T NEED THIS CRAP!
[CHORUS]
IF YOU`RE A PUB MAN
OR A CLUB MAN
MAYBE A JET BLACK GUY WITH A HIP HI-FI
A WHITE COOL CAT WITH A TRILBY HAT
MAYBE LEATHER AND STUDS IS WHERE YOU`RE AT
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY
DON`T LET HARD TIMES STAND IN YOUR WAY
GIVE A WHAM GIVE A BAM BUT DON`T GIVE A DAMN
`COS THE BENEFIT GANG ARE GONNA PAY!
Now reach up high and touch your soul
The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal
It`s gonna break your mama`s heart (so sad)
It`s gonna break your daddy`s heart (too bad)
Just throw the dice and take my advice
`Cos I know that you`re smart
Can you dig this thing? (YEAH!)
Are you gonna get down? (YEAH!)
Say Wham! WHAM!
Say Bam! BAM!
[CHORUS x3]
Do you wanna work
Are you gonna have fun
Do you wanna be a jerk
Are you gonna stay young
Everybody say WHAM!
Say BAM!
Everybody say WHAM!
Say WHAM! BAM!
