The Lyrics

An ode to job hunting..nuff said.
Won’t lay and shirk, find some want ads displayed
Lots of jobs, it is not too late
Future to build, enter temp guild
Goodness, gracious, great jobs for hire

I finished school, graduated Cum Laude
Earn enough to afford an Audi
I’ll put my mind, on work time
Fine, outrageous great jobs; they’ll hire

Will they take me?
Ohhhh….they should
Hope they hire me
Well… I want to earn money to afford some goods

They’ll hire
In time
I just want some work someplace I’ll admire

Fax resumes, then prepare for interviews
Won’t get nervous, got nothing to lose
Did my mission, dealt with competition
Had some faith; choose great jobs for hire

(Instrumental Piano Solo)

Well…
Choose me, maybe?
Ohhhh…they would?
Working, maybe?
Well..
Need to earn more ducats like most people would

A thrill
Earn fills
Wallet I’ll have filled with lots more dollar bills

Minimum wage, could care less what kind of work
Long as I don’t stay at home to shirk
Baker, maybe, or work for the Navy?
Smooth, vivacious, great jobs for hire
OS seems easy, but kind of hard to pace. I tried my best.

You're a success already! But to move up, you need balls & fire in the belly.

Great work here! I'll reserve my vote and in-depth comment for the Ages IV competition, but you did a good job with a song that I have found impossible to parody!

(Ages) Goodness gracious, two parodies about looking for jobs! Great parody here, even if the phrase "great jobs for hire" started to look weird by the time I was done reading. 555!

(Ages 2011, Round 4) Great job, although "great jobs for hire" was a little odd. 5s.

(AofA) I concur with Andria, it didn't roll off the tongue quite right, but it was still pretty funny!

(AofA) Goodness! Gracious! Great jobs for hire! I enjoyed singing it a lot!

Ages...the thought of being out there looking for a job makes me queasy right now...(thankful for gainful employment!)...but this parody made me smile! :) Nice work!!
