Oh why don’t I work

Like other men do?

When there’s no work to do?

To a well meaning man


I went to a house
And asked for a steak
But the lady said no
So I had to eat cake
(Chorus)

In winter I go
Down south where it’s hot
And my summer vacation
Is spent on a lot
(Chorus)

One day when I swore
I’d mend all my ways
I was sent off to jail
For to spend thirty days
(Chorus)

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
