[Verse 1] Yo 6 o'clock every morning you waking up yawning/
To the sound of your alarm clock alarming/
About an hour from now you should be at the place of employment/
Which is annoying/
cause it's so boring/
Your co-workers are talking too loud for you to ignore them/
It affects your occupational performance/
You wonder why your work load is so enormous/
Because your boss just laid off three quarters of the whole office/
People get depressed, they get ulcers from the stress that the corporate environment causes/
Regardless of how you ultimately wanna solve this/
Seems to me like you've got one of four choices:/
You could take a new job offer for more chips/
Stick it out a little longer or forfeit/
But my advice to anybody that wants to quit/
It'll feel much better if you say it like this:/

[Chorus]
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin here no more
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin here no more
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin here no more
Take this job, take this job, take this job and shove it
[Verse 2] Yo, if your boss is a s-o-b/
Tell him to s-h-o-v-e the j-o-b/
Put your middle finger up slowly/
Put it close enough to his face so he can examine it closely/
Say “I ain't workin here no more/
Who do you think you are?”/
Rip your apron off, throw it on the floor/
Run to the door,/
to the payphone make a toll-free call tell your spouse what happened and where you are/
So they can come and get you in the car later on/
And help you search for a new 9 to 5 job/
If the unemployment line ain't that long/
You can take your time printin out W-9 forms/
Eventually, you'll get on if you try hard enough/
And you'll get money if you keep punchin your time card enough/
Maybe you hate it, maybe you love it/
But if you hate it all you gotta do is get mad and tell the boss to/

[Chorus]

[Verse 3] Yo, some occupations are like slave gigs
The boss is favored and get placed in something spacious
While the most hated get placed in some small cubicle spaces
Or get thrown down in the basement, get your stapler confiscated
You constantly waitin for a paycheck
Twelve months passed by and you still ain't get paid yet
Here's a optimistic motto
If you ever late for today you could say you early for tomorrow
Most 9 to 5's are hard
Cause the description in the job ain't no picnic in the park
People get hired
Drink coffee to stay wired
So they don't get tired, sleep late, and get fired
[Biz Markie]
You came in late, you already ate,
Nowww, you wanna take a lunch break!? ? !

[Canibus]
Ay, yo bust it, ain't no need to discuss it
Just take this job and shove it, right between your buttocks

[Chorus x2]
