Tom Waits – I Can't Wait To Get Off Work (and See My Baby On Montgomery Avenue) Lyrics  Share

From Tom Waits's album: Small Change

I don^,t mind working, ^,cause I used to be jerking off most of my time in bars,
I^,ve been a cabbie and a stock clerk and a soda-fountain jock-jerk
And a manic mechanic on cars.
It^,s nice work if you can get it, now who the hell said it?
I got money to spend on my gal,
But the work never stops, and I^,ll be busting my chops
Working for Joe and Sal.

And I can^,t wait to get off work and see my baby,
She said she^,d leave the porch light on for me.
I^,m disheveled and I^,m disdainful and I^,m distracted and it^,s painful,
But this job sweeping up here is gainfully employing me tonight.

Well "Tom, do this" and "Tom, do that", and "Tom, don^,t do that",

Count the cash, clean the oven, dump the trash,
Oh your loving is a rare and a copacetic gift,
And I^,m a moonlight watch manic, it^,s hard to be romantic
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine,
Sweeping up over by the cigarette machine...

I can^,t wait to get off work and see my baby
She^,ll be waiting up with a magazine for me.
Clean the bathrooms and clean ^,em good, oh your loving I wish you would
Come down here and sweep a-me off my feet, this broom^,ll have to be my baby,
If I hurry, I just might get off before the dawn^,s early light.
