He’s working in a better job and he earns a better pay
My dad will soon be manager he’s heading for the top
And your dad near the bottom and further down he’ll drop.
second boy
Your dad may soon be manager but your dad is a snob
And you are just a braggart mouth to boast about his job
My dad is no intellectual but he works hard for his bread
And I am better clad than you and I look better fed.
first boy
Of my dad’s successful career I feel obliged to talk
My dad he drives a rolls to work whilst your’s to the train walk
And if you think you look better dressed and better fed than me
Then each time you look in the mirror must be some one else you see.
Second boy
So your dad drives a rolls royce to work but that doesn’t mean he’s great
My dad’s a better man than him and worth more to the State
My dad works hard for his livelihood and your dad lacks in pride
Whilst others sweat to earn their bread he sits on his backside.
First boy
So you say that my dad’s a lazy man from insult please refrain
My dad he does the hardest work he works hard with his brain
And I feel proud of what he’s achieved and there’s none so great as he
And by you trying to belittle him ‘proof of your jealousy’.
second boy
You speak of insult and jealousy but the jealous one is you
My dad works harder than your dad and you know that is true,
You are jealous of my father and we don’t see eye to eye
And I’ve got football training in an hour and so I’ve got to say goodbye.
