[Chorus]
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Well, you ain't so big, you just tall, that's just about all

[Verse 1]
Well, you got me working boss man, workin' around the clock
I want a little drink of whiskey, you sure won't let me stop

[Chorus]
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
Well, you ain't so big, you just tall, that's just about all

[Instrumental break with harmonica solo]

[Verse 2]
Yeah, now, I'm gonna get me a boss man, one gonna treat me right
I work hard in the daytime, sure get stoned at night

[Chorus]
Big boss man, can't you hear me when I call?
'Cause you ain't so big, you just tall, that's just about all
