The Big Payback - Single B-side - 1982

Оригінал

I bought a scooter and I rented a shack

Out in the sun, by the railroad track

I got a job, and I'm a-breakin' my back

Workin' and workin' for the big payback

I keep a-puttin' and a-puttin' out

I keep a-sweatin' like all get out

I work so long that I'm a-losin' track

Waitin', waitin' on the big payback

Well, it's a wham-bam, thank you ma'am, goddamn, look out Sam

I took on that train rumblin' down this track

They got your neck in the noose, you're draggin' long in back

Chasin' and chasin' the big payback

Oh, what my foreman does, well, I don't know

He just throws me a shovel and yells, "Go, Bobby, go"

Oh well, all day long he's just a diddy-wack-wack

While I, I'm sweatin' and sweatin' the big payback

It's a wham-bam, thank you ma'am, goddamn, look out Sam

I took on that train rumblin' down this track

They got your neck in the noose, you're draggin' long in back

And you're a-workin' and workin' for the big payback

I quit that job, and Mister I ain't goin' back

Got me a knife, and she's a long and black

I'll tell you how I make the peace with that man

Down in the alley of the big payback

I go wham-bam, thank you ma'am, goddamn, come on, man

I took on that train rumblin' down this track

I got your neck in the noose and I don't give a damn, Jack

I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback

I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback

I'm on that long lost highway of the big payback
