[Intro]
Oh, so you is the man who comes to sweep mi yard?
The yard man
I like that broomstick you're carrying
Yes, baby, I like it
[Verse 1]
I want you to take your broom, and sweep mi yard
You better brush it good or we goin' fall out bad
Don't give me no shortcut thing, you have all day & night
I have to satisfy, so you better do it right
[Chorus]
Work! What you're waiting for?
Work! Put your back in it
Work! Just a little more
Work! Throw your waist in it now
Work! 'Til your body's hurting
Work! Work it hard and long
Work! When you finish that
Work! I want you go downtown
[Verse 2]
It's what you come to do, just remember that
And don't pick mi fruits, you can put them back
You start off working nice, with your big broomstick
Now you're easing back, like you're afraid of brick
[Chorus]
Work! What you're waiting for?
Work! Put your back in it
Work! Just a little more
Work! Throw your waist in it now
Work! 'Til your body's hurting
Work! Work it hard and long
Work! When you finish that
Work! I want you go downtown
[Post-Chorus]
Go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down
Go down
Come up, come up, come up
Come up, come up, come up
[Bridge]
Oh, yes, baby
I like the work do you on mi yard
You do real good work, yard man
[Verse 3]
I find you lookin' nervous like you're afraid to fail
Now you're making excuse 'bout your feeling pain
Just don't waste mi time cause you'll get me mad
I have a pig down there, that could bite your broomstick hard
[Chorus]
Work! What you're waiting for?
Work! Put your back in it
Work! Just a little more
Work! Throw your waist in it now
Work! 'Til your body's hurting
Work! Work it hard and long
Work! When you finish that
Work! I want you go downtown
Work! What you're waiting for?
Work! Put your back in it
Work! Just a little more
Work! Throw your waist in it now
Work! 'Til your body's hurting
Work! Work it hard and long
Work! When you finish that
Work! I want you go downtown
[Post-Chorus]
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down
Come up, come up, come up, come up
Come up, come up, come up, come up

It is such an iconic vocal that I had to make sure the beat was as good as it could be. Knowing Anastas is a drummer, I was so happy when he told me he loved the track.
