It's My Job - Jimmy Buffett
In the middle of late last night
I was sittin' on a curb

I didn't know what about

but I was feeling quite disturbed

A street sweeper came whistlin' by,
he was bouncin' every step

It seemed strange how good he felt

So I asked him while he swept

He said, "It's my job to be cleaning up this mess

And that's enough reason to go for me
It's my job to be better than the rest

And that makes the day for me"

I got an uncle who owns a bank,
he's a self made millionaire

He never had anyone to love,
never had no one to care

He always to seemed kind of sad to me
So I asked him why that was

And he told me it's because

in my contract there's a clause

That says, "It's my job to be worried half to death
And that's the thing people respect in me
It's my job but without it I'd be less

Than what I expect from me"

I've been lazy most all of my life
Writing songs and sleeping late

Any manual labor I've done purely by mistake

If street sweepers can smile then
I've got no right to feel upset,

but sometimes I still forget

Till the lights go on and the stage is set
And the song hits home and you feel that sweat
It's my job to be different than the rest
And that's enough reason to go for me
It's my job to be better than the best
And that's a tough break for me

It's my job to be cleaning up this mess

And that's enough reason to go for me
It's my job to be better than the best
And that makes the day for me
