Some chords and rhythm borrowed from Banning Eyre's song, The Right Question.

lyrics

UP AT DAWN AND OFF TO WORK
MY BABY’S SO TIRED THAT TOOTHBRUSH HURTS
SHE DON’T KNOW WHEN SHE’LL BE HOME
WON’T HAVE TIME TO CALL ON THE PHONE
HER WORK IT MEANS A LOT YOU SEE
NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SALARY
HER RESUME DESERVES RESPECT
BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT’S A PAIN IN THE NECK

Chorus:
MY BABY’S GOT A REAL JOB (3x)
THAT MAKES ONE OF US

EVERY JOB I’VE EVER WORKED
IN THE LITERAL OR METAPHORICAL DIRT
EVERY TIME THEY ALWAYS SAY
“YOU DON’T EVEN HAVE A RESUME.”
BUT EVERY MONTH THAT RENT GETS PAID
ONCE IN A WHILE I GET A FIFTY CENT RAISE
I’M QUALIFIED TO DO LOTS OF THINGS
LIKE SIT AND SEE WHAT THE WIND WILL BRING
