The Lyrics
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That labor is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That labor is bound to get you,
Labor, labor, labor, labor, labor...mmm...
(female vocal)
Labor Day,
Start in to lay, then soon, you’ll be lazy,
Labor Day,
Go watch TV, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
Off day through the nation, (dee-de-oh!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the day that’s putting the world on its feet,
Labor Day,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Labor Day,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, throw away those white tees,
Let’s do Labor Day!
(vocal trio)
Labor Day,
Start in to lay, then soon, you’ll be lazy,
Labor Day,
Go watch TV, your feet will keep beating,
One, two, three,
Off day through the nation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the day that’s putting the world on its feet,
Labor Day,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Labor Day,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Throw away those white tees,
Let’s do Labor Day, whoa!
Labor Day,
(instrumental call-back)
Labor Day,
(instrumental call-back)
One, two, three,
Off day through the nation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
You’ll agree,
It’s the day that’s putting the world on its feet,
Labor Day,
(instrumental call-back)
Labor Day,
(instrumental call-back)
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Throw away those white tees,
Let’s do Labor Day, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That labor is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That labor is bound to get you,
Labor, labor, labor, labor, labor...mmm...
