If I Only Had a Job

I could while away the hours, working for the powers

helping your average slob.

And computer keys I'd be tappin' while

purchases I'd be trackin'

If I only had a job.

I'd help solve any trouble for any indivud'le

With a heartache or a sob.

With the people you'd be helpin'

you could be another Halprin*

If you only had a job.

Oh I could help you buy books that wouldn't bore.

I could show you things you've never seen before.

And then I'd sit and show you more.

I would not be just a nothin' my resume full of bluffin'

And throat full with a sob.

I would shop and be happy, Life would be so light and snappy

If I only had a job.

*Yeah I made an obscure reference to a modern dancer to fit the rhyme scheme.  I have a degree in theatre. Deal.
