My friend's got a girlfriend
Man he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says: Man, I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way
She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend
You gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say: No way; say: No way, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
'Cause that girl's got expensive taste
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say: No way; say: No way, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Well, I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all
But, hey, man, free rides just don't come along
Every day
Let me tell you about my other friend now
My friend's got a boyfriend, man, she hates that dick
She tells me every day
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend
You gotta say
I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say: No way; say: No way, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
I won't give ya' no money, I always pay
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say: No way; say: No way, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
