[Verse 1]
I have to get up, get to the job
I have to put my work clothes on
I work in the kitchen, from 8 ‘til 10
Go home for a minute just to do it again
How could I find peace of mind?
I’m not even living on my own time
When something’s done wrong, what can I say?
Someone could send me back home today
[Chorus]
I make the minimum wage
I said that I work, I work
For the minimum wage
[Verse 2]
I wash the dishes, I mop the floors
I’m glad I’m alive, who could ask for more?
I have God, he lives in me
Unhappy rich people there must be
Oooh la la, oooh la lay
Forget the future, work today
I’m not unhappy, why be sad?
Think of all the good times that we’ve had
[Bridge]
We work so hard, yes we work all day
We work so hard, but we need to stay
We work so hard, yes we work all day
We work so hard, but we need to stay
[Verse 3]
I wash the dishes, I mop the floors
I’m glad I’m alive, who could ask for more?
I have God, he lives in me
Unhappy rich people there must be
Oooh la la, oooh la lay
Forget the future, let me work today
I’m not unhappy, why be sad?
Think of all the good times that we’ve had
[Chorus/outro]
I make the minimum wage
I said that I work, I work
For the minimum wage
Don’t you know that we work
We work for the minimum wage?
I said that I work, I work
For the minimum wage
I said that we work, we work
For the minimum wage
