Workin'! Workin'! Workin', workin', workin', workin', workin', workin', workin', workin' Workin'!
The sun comes up, another day in the mine You're up at 7:30 and in class by 9 You're pushin' them papers, you're draggin' that pen You study or you party 'til God only knows when You go to bed, get up and do it over again Workin' on an MBA
Work all day, work all night Work all the next day and that night, too Work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work Graduate with honors and start makin' the big money
Well, the econ professor is a pompous old ass And you better be good at puckerin' if you're hopin' to pass You're takin' them hard knocks, you're payin' them dues Don't get no Christmas bonus, you don't share no revenues Oh Lord, here comes another arrogant asshole to schmooze Workin' on an MBA
Work all day, work all night Work all the next day and that night, too Work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work Plunge into an orgy of material acquisition
Oh Lordy, it's a long, hard journey You're getting' shin splints, tennis elbow and a herniated disc You may be wheeled to graduation on a gurney But you'll be proud to say, "Hey, world... I'm not an attorney! I'm an MBA! I'm an MBA! I'm an MB-"
Well, you hang around with a lot of supercilious folks And you don't know which is staler — is it the donuts or the jokes? Gotta finish that spreadsheet, gotta click in that clique You're so uptight, you haven't taken a leak in a week And the only part of you that gets any sleep is your left butt cheek Workin' on an MBA
Work all day, work all night Work all the next day and that night, too Work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work Graduate with honors and start makin' the big money Plunge into an orgy of material acquisition Ascend the corporate ladder unless you're Hispanic, black or a woman Workin' on an MBA
