From the recording The Heavenly Zoo
Bruce invented what I’ll call the giant string section part — the only music track in the song — in the length of time it takes to play it. Then we built a song, sympathetic to the plight of the unemployed, around that.
Lyrics
don't shovel the driveway yet
you might scuff your new corvette
that would void the warranty, brother you bet
I once was a choir boy
singing songs full of love and joy
that's the best gig you could get paid to get
job, I had a job
job, I had a job
take all of the friends you know
take them out to a broadway show
revel in the merriment, ready set go
sometimes when the weather's right
we like to stay up all night
coaxing virgins out of their virginal white
we'll give you a lift
if you get the drift
it's a parting gift so please be swift
job, I had a job
job, I had a job
