[C#m]
I went up for my interview on the [G#m] fourth day of [C#m] July.
The personal man, he [G#] questioned me until I [C#m] nearly cried.
Made me fill in forms until I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll and [G#] if my [C#m] cousin's queer.
Here's your gold watch and the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper to [G#] say you left [C#m] here sane.
And if you've a son who wants [G#m] a good [C#m] career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and work [G#m] for [C#m] a year.
He asked me how many [G#m] jobs I'd had [C#m] before.
He nearly had a heart attack when I answered four.
More jobs in twenty years, oh this can never be.
We only take on men.
Your watch and the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane.
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and [G#] work for [C#m] a year.
He took me outside to where the gravestones stand in line.
This is where we buried the head, quick [G#m] stone [C#m] and in line.
And if you come to work for us in this [G#] you must [C#m] agree
That if you're going to die, please do [G#] it at [C#m] your tea break.
And your watch and the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper to [G#] say you [C#m] left here sane.
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and [G#m] work for [C#m] a year.
This story that you heard, you may think rather queer.
But it is the truth you'll be [G#] surprised [C#m] to hear.
I did not want no job upon the board.
I just wanted to take a broom and sweep the floor.
Your watch and the shackles for your chain.
And your piece of paper to say you left here sane.
And if you've a son who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line and [G#] work for a [C#m] year.
