Looking for a dirty, funny song title.

September 20, 2006 7:52 PM

I'm looking for the lyrics AND possibly an MP3 or recording of a "dirty" (funny) song I heard once... Language warning. :) Lyrics go: "Aw f*** it, I've got better things to do..." "All the years I've taken s**t would fill a bucket" etc...

The song goes something like:

Well, I go to work every day, try to work hard to earn my pay, but my boss is always screaming in my ear.
(insert a rhyming lyric or two here)

Then the chorus:
Aw fuck it, I've got better things to do, fuck fuck fuck fuck it... All the years I've taken shit would fill a bucket... Time to tell the boss to take this job and stuff it.

Other lyrics include this guy talking about a guy at the bar who drinks beer and doesn't have to pay for it because unemployment insurance does or something. :)

Anyhow, I'd love to know what the name of this song is, who it's by, lyrics, and hell, even an MP3 or a place I can buy it from! :)

Thanks in advance!

I believe you are looking for "Take This Job And Shove It," by Johnny Paycheck. The lyrics aren't exactly right, but maybe you have got them mixed up in your head?

The lyrics are actually pretty sad:

Take This Job and Shove It
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
and took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in
my way as I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

I've been working in this factory
For nigh on fifteen years
All this time I watched my woman
Drowning in a pool of tears
And I've seen a lot of good folks die
That had a lot of bills to pay
I'd give the shirt right off my back
If I had the guts to say

Take This Job and Shove It
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
and took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in
my way as I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

Well that foreman he's a riggity dog
The lineboss He's a fool
Got brand new flattop hair cut
looorrdd he thinks he's cool
One of these days I'll blow my top
And That Sucker he's gonna pay
lord I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say

Take This Job and Shove It
I ain't working here no more
My woman done left
and took all the reasons
I was working for
You better not try to stand in
my way as I'm walking out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more

Take this job and shove it
I ain't working here no more,

Take this job and shove it

(from a lyrics site; I claim no responsibility)

It looks like you can preview and buy the song from Yahoo! Music, among other places (Amazon).

Response by poster: Unfortunately, no, it's not the one by Johnny Paycheck. :) I've heard the two, and they're distinctly different. :)

Response by poster: BTW, I'm *positive* about the Lyrics that I posted. :) My father and I used to listen to this song and laugh our asses off. :D

Mod note: Final update from the OP:

Well, after 12-ish years of searching, I found the song. It's called "Awwww" by a band called "Garry Lee and the Showdown" (who are more famous for The Rodeo Song). You can take a listen here:
