Take This Job and Love It lyrics

Take this job and love itI ain’t shirking here no moreMy woman done leftShe took all the reasonsThat I was shirking forYou better not tryTo stand in my wayWhen I’m walking out the doorTake this job and love itI ain’t shirking here no moreWell, I’ve been shirkingIn this dang factoryPretty close to 16 yearsI’ve seen my best friend’s womenDrown in a pool of tearsI’ve seen a lot of kinfolk dyingI had a lot of bills to payLord, I’d give the shirtRight off my back, off my backIf I had the guts to sayTake this job and love itI ain’t shirking here no moreMy woman done leftShe took all the reasonsThat I was shirking forYou better not tryTo stand in my wayWhen I’m walking out the doorTake this job and love itI ain’t shirking here no moreThe foreman is an S.O.B.And the night boss, he’s a foolHe got himself a brand newA brand new flattop haircutHe really thinks that’s coolOne of these daysI’m gonna blow my topThat’s shocking, he’s gonna payWell I can’t wait to see their facesWhen I get the nerve to sayTake this job and love itI ain’t shirking here no moreMy woman done leftShe took all the reasonsThat I was shirking forYou better not tryTo stand in my wayWhen I’m walking out the doorTake this job and love itI ain’t shirking here no more

The above song is based on a few quotes from Dolly Parton, singer, songwriter, and actress. God bless this great singer.

For a dream to come true, you gotta put legs and wings and feet and hands and thought into it.

I do the best I can every day, and I’m going to enjoy my life. Some people work at being miserable. I work at being happy.

The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you have to put up with the rain.

I believe that all good things come from God. And after you believe in Him, you’ve got to believe in yourself. You’ve got to believe that you are special.

A Dream Comes True lyric

Catch People Being Good lyrics

Every day is a good daySome days are better than othersI win in all the ways that countFamily and friendsGood enough healthReasonable material comfortA fulfilling jobI never tire counting my blessings

This I know is trueIt’s incumbent on all of usTo catch those we love being goodAnd tell them that we love them

The happiest people in America:Men who are married andWomen with childrenParenting is toughBut the rewards are unparalleledChildren give life purpose

Here’s my life philosophyCatch people being goodIf they’re close to youTell them you love themTell that to them whenever you canDon’t be shyDo it often

You’re a good personYou are thoughtfulYou are kindYou make my life happierI see youI value what I see

Don’t reach the end of your lifeRegretting the things you did not sayCatch people being goodBecause that makes their world betterAnd that makes your world better

If you love someoneTell them you love themTell them oftenBe specificAnd tell them again

If you love someoneTell them you love themTell them oftenBe specificAnd tell them again
