HP&His HOT Take-Out Band: Music
Bossman
(Howard Parker)
words & music by Howard Parker
A statement about "the working condition"...being heard,appreciated and validated by the one who signs our paycheck...caring and making a difference......until we're mad as hell and can't take it anymore!
I'm goin down to the boss
to talk with him one more time
I'm gonna tell him whats wrong here
and hope he listens this time
Foreman says "dont waste your breath boy
less you wanna stand in th unemployment line
Mr Bossman wont you stand in my shoes
Try them on 'cause you got nothin to lose
If only you could see the things that I do
You'd change your ways and have some better things to do
Now I'm standin in that line
And I aint got no shoes
The bossman he kissed me goodbye...
and the foreman thanked him for the news.
Now I'm prayin for some problems
so I can sing these working man's blues
