It’s spicey man
Ooh woopee woopty do, woopee woopty day
Woopity woopity dee dee
I'm so willing to work
I'm willing to work
I'm willing to work
Give me a word I’ll say it
Give me a note I will play it
'Cause I'm just willing to work, show me a game I’ll play it
Give me a name, I will live up to it
I'm just willing to work
Oh you never know a man so willing to work
Give me a bench, I will mark it
Give me a wench, I will woo it
Check it, touch it round about it
Ooh every day
Just move every day
Willing to work I'm willing to work
Got to do it now
Willing to work
Gotta be here now
Willing to work, willing to work
I'm so willing to work
I'm willing to work, just willing to work
Give me a chance buddy can you spare a dime?
I'm so willing to work
I don’t care if I look shirty
I don’t care if I look mean
I'm just willing to work for you
You’re caught in the corner I'm willing to work for love
You over there all I want is your money and I'm willing to work
I'm willing to work
Show me your enemy
Show me your enemy I’ll show you my friend
I'm willing to work
Trust me don’t trust me
My shoes are too light
My head is too big
The waistcoat is pristine as are my minors
I got people, I'm willing to work
So willing
It’s almost sweet
Willing to work
Willing to work
Willing to work
Willing to work
Just willing to work
I'm telling to you
I'm willing to work
I'm willing to work
I’ll work every day of my life till I die
I'm so willing
It’s almost sweet but just all most chilling
Willing to work
Just willing to work
Who or what wants to work so bad
Gimme the job
Want the job so bad
Want the job so bad
I even brought my dog with me
I even brought my dog with me
