I can’t wait to get off work lyrics

Artist  : Tom waits 
Song : I can’t wait to get off work
 
I don’t mind working, ’cause I used to be jerking
off most of my time in bars,
I’ve been a cabbie and a stock clerk and a
soda-fountain jock-jerk
And a manic mechanic on cars.
It’s nice work if you can get it, now who the
hell said it? 
I got money to spend on my gal,
But the work never stops, and I’ll be busting my
chops
Working for joe and sal.

And I can’t wait to get off work and see my
baby,
She said she’d leave the porch light on for me.
I’m disheveled and I’m disdainful and I’m
distracted and it’s painful,
But this job sweeping up here is gainfully
employing me tonight.

Well ’tom, do this’ and ’tom, do that’, and ’tom,
don’t do that’,
Count the cash, clean the oven, dump the trash,
Oh your loving is a rare and a copacetic gift,
And I’m a moonlight watch manic, it’s hard to be
romantic
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine,
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine...

I can’t wait to get off work and see my baby
She’ll be waiting up with a magazine for me.
Clean the bathrooms and clean ’em good, oh your
loving I wish you would
Come down here and sweep a-me off my feet, this
broom’ll have to be my baby,
If I hurry, I just might get off before the
dawn’s early light.
