Life for Lola

In light of modern times I feel it is time for this song to re-released, it says more about today than Michelle McManus


You got soul on the door, You're gonna have a good time down on the line
You got soul on the door, You're gonna have a good time down on the line
I said a-get, a-get, a-get on down, Said a-get get get on down
I said a-get, a-get, a-get on down, Said a-get get get on down
Hey everybody take a look at me, I've got street credibility
I may not have a job but I have a good time
With the boys that I meet down on the line
I said D-H-S-S, man a rhythm that can give them is the very best
I said B1, B2, makin' claims on your name's all you have do
Well this'ill be a drag if workin's not your bag, And when you let them know
You're more dead than alive in a nine to five, Then they say you've gotta go, and...
Get yourself a job, or get out of this house, Get yourself a job, are you a man or a mouse
I figure eighteen, you pretend not to hear, I gotta get some space, get outta this place
Wham, Bam, I am a man, Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
Do - you, enjoy what you do?, If not, just stop, don't stay there and rot
In the streets, in the cars on the underground, If you listen real hard you can here the sound
Of a million people switchin' out for work, Well listen mister average, you're a jerk
Not me, you can't hold me down, Not me, I'm gonna fool around
I'm gonna have some fun, Look out for number one
You can dig your grave, I'm stayin' young
Wham, Bam, I am a man, Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
Do you, enjoy what you do? If not, just stop, don't stay there and rot!
If you're a pub man or a club man, Maybe a jet black guy with hip hi-fi
A white cool cat with a trilby hat, Maybe leather and studs is where you're at
Make the most of every day, Don't let hard times stand in your way
Give a wham, give a bam, But don't give a damn
'Cause the benefit gang are gonna pay
Now reach up high and touch your soul
The boys from Wham will help you reach that goal
It's gonna break you're mamma's heart (so sad)
It's gonna break you're daddy's heart (too bad)
Won't you throw the dice and take my advice
Because I know that you're smart
Can you dig this thing (yeah), Are you gonna get down (yeah)
Say Wham (Wham), Say Bam (Bam), Wham, Bam, I am a man
Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
Do you, enjoy what you do? If not, jut stop, don't stay there and rot!
(D-H-S-S) Wham, Bam, I am a man
(D-H-S-S) Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
(D-H-S-S) Do you, enjoy what you do?
(D-H-S-S) If not, jut stop, don't stay there and rot!
(D-H-S-S) Wham, Bam, I am a man
(D-H-S-S) Job or no job, you can't tell me that I'm not
(D-H-S-S) Do you, enjoy what you do? (fade)
