| Take this job and shove it | 
| I ain’t workin' here no more | 
| My woman done left and took all of the reasons | 
| That I was workin' for | 
| You better not try to stand in my way | 
| When I’m walkin' out the door | 
| Take this job and shove it | 
| I ain’t workin' here no more | 
| Well, I’ve been working in this factory | 
| Pretty close to 15 years | 
| I’ve seen some of my best friends women | 
| Drownin' in a pool of tears | 
| I’ve seen a lot of kinfolks dyin' | 
| I had a lot of bills to pay | 
| Lord, I’d give the shirt right often my back | 
| If I had the guts to say, say what? | 
| Take this job and shove it | 
| I ain’t workin' here no more | 
| My woman’s done left and took all of the reasons | 
| That I was workin' for | 
| You better not try to stand in my way | 
| When I’m walkin' out the door | 
| Take this job and shove it | 
| I ain’t workin' here no more | 
| The foreman is a regular S.O.B | 
| And the night boss, he’s a fool | 
| He got himself a brand new flattop haircut | 
| Lord, he really thinks that’s cool | 
| One of these days I’m gonna blow my top | 
| And that’s shockin', he’s gonna pay it | 
| Well I can’t wait to see their faces | 
| When I get the nerve to say, say what? | 
| Take this job and shove it | 
| I ain’t workin' here no more | 
| My woman done left and took all of the reasons | 
| That I was workin' for | 
| You better not try to stand in my way | 
| When I’m walkin' out the door | 
| Take this job and shove it | 
| I ain’t workin' here no more | 
| Take this job and shove it |
