Story Behind the Song
I pretty much think the lyrics say it all....oh, and a bottle of rum.
Lyrics
We took a boat down the Thames with all our friends on board,
I knew it'd cost more than I could ever afford,
But when we started placing bets on who'd be the first to score,
I grabbed all I could and I headed for the door.
And the girls up town seem to like our style,
And they let us hang around for just a little while,
So I did the best I could to raise a smile,
For a hand down my pants I'd walk that extra mile,
I said for a hand down my pants I'd run that extra mile.
And it's hard to be good I said,
It's good to be hard,
And it's hard to be good I said,
It's good to be hard,
Well you can take that job and stick it up your arse!
I said to take that job and stick it up your arse!
And the boss - he don't need to know,
I've spent too many years just digging round his hole,
I need some fun before I'm getting old,
So I'll take my chances and make it on my own,
I said I'll take my chances and make it on my own.
And it's hard to be good I said,
It's good to be hard,
And it's hard to be good I said,
It's good to be hard,
Well you can take that job and stick it up your arse!
I said to take that job and stick it up your arse!
We took a boat down the Thames with all our friends on board,
And after two weeks I was the only one who hadn't scored,
And then one day this girl she came aboard,
And after half an hour she was begging me for more!
I said that after half an hour she was screaming out for more!
And it's hard to be good I said,
It's good to be hard,
And it's hard to be good I said,
It's good to be hard,
Well you can take that job and stick it up your arse!
And it's hard to be good I said,
It's good to be hard,
And it's hard to be good I said,
It's good to be hard,
Well you can take that job and stick it up your arse!
I said to take that job and stick it up your arse!
Why don't you take that job and stick it up your arse?!
