[Verse 1]
Well, I been working double shift all night
Now, bees make honey, I'm making mine
Good men are busy all the time
I been working double shift all night

[Verse 2]
My line of work, oh, it suits me fine
Split that apple, and chuck that rind
Pull no wishbone that ain't dry
My line of work, oh, it suits me fine

[Chorus]
Now, sweet you ramble, sweet you roll
All through the bedrock of my soul
I got more good luck than I'll ever use
All day and all night, like a mule

[Verse 3]
Fat faced farmer, off'a my land
Cross me twice, and you'll understand
Now, me and Delia, now, we're more than friends
Fat faced farmer, off'a my land

[Verse 4]
See how high your monkey jumps
Peel that fruit back, now gimme some
Now, let this evening do what it does
See how high your monkey jumps
[Chorus]
I'm gearing up not to get small
I do it big or don't do it at all
Ain't got no baggage that I can't use
All day and all night, like a mule

[Verse 5]
"Well, it's on back to work," they say
"Now, pull your hammer high and straight
Lay your boards out, and drag that rake
And get on back to work," they say

[Chorus]
Get what you got, return what you use
Now, tell me young man: whose dog are you?
Got bigger secrets than you do
All day and all night, like a mule

[Outro]
My line of work suits me fine
My line of work suits me fine
My line of work suits me fine
My line of work, ooh
