    Story Behind the Song
    This is a song about a homeless person trying to get hired for a job.

    Lyrics
    Mister can I have a job,
    I'm showin up at 9am
    Saw the sign in your window,
    and I'd be pleased to start today
    Man I'm so excited, see I
    really, really, really need a job
    I heard the whistle, your place is bare, Tell me where your workers are

    Did I mention that I'm homeless
    Did I mention that I haven't slept in days
    Did I mention that I'm hungry
    Did I mention that my clothes are soiled and frayed

    chorus:
    You gotta believe me, who you think you're foolin?
    Can you look me in the eyes and say "there's no job"
    You gotta believe me, who you think you're foolin?
    Can you look me in the eyes and say "there's no job"

    Mister now it's 9:I5 and
    all your employees are late
    Seems to me they'd be on time
    if they had a bigger price to pay
    Put them in my shoes for half a day
    and then you'll see a change
    Oh yeah that's right, I don't have shoes, but I trust my point is made

    Did I mention that I'm homeless
    Did I mention that I haven't slept in days
    Did I mention that I'm hungry
    Did I mention you walk by me everyday

    -repeat chorus-

    There's no job

    Did I mention that I'm homeless
    Did I mention that I haven't slept in days
    Did I mention that I'm hungry
    Did I mention you walk by me everyday

    -repeat chorus-

    Cause there's no job
    Look me in the eyes, cause there's no job
