Did You Get A Job?

Well, I'm sitting there talking to my good friend Brian
He pulls up in this brand new car he bought over in Europe somewhere
He and his wife flew over and picked it up at the factory
They drove around the Continent for weeks
And when they were Finish
They drove through the Chunnel
Put the thing in a box
And sailed home on the Queen Eizabeth II
So I said, "Hey, Brian. 
Why don't we go out and collect some aluminum cans
Maybe get enough money for a couple of beers?
You know, like we used to do in the old days?"
Brian looks at me, "I'll Buy."
I said, "Brian!   You're gonna buy?  
Is there something wrong with you?"
I said, "Hey man… did you get a job?"

Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a… …job?

Well, I'm sitting there talking to my good friend Kevin
Yeah, he bought this brand knew house way down South
It had a hundred and fifty-seven thousand rooms
So, I said, "Hey, Kevin.  
Why don't go down to the basement and bang away on those bongos,
You know, like we used to do in the old days?"
We get down there.  
There's no bongos.  
There's a brand new drum kit
He slides on in behind, Starts banging away, And sounds like thunder
I said, "Hey, Kevin.  
Where'd you get them drums?  
Where'd you get this house?  
Where'd you get all this stuff?"
You know, I said, "Hey, Man… Did you get a job?"

Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a… …job?

Well I'm sitting there talking to myself
And all my hairs are cut
It's combed neatly and parted down to one side
I reach into the closet and put on a brand new Armani suit
And make my way down the stairs
Where the maid hands me a frothing mug of cappucino
Several small children gather around and call me, "daddy"
I shake them off my coat tails and I head out to the garage
I slide behind the wheel of my rouge-beige BMW
I look at myself in the mirror, and I say, "Hey, man… did you get a job?"

Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a job?
Did you get a…
