Gold Watch Blues - Donovan
I went up for my interview
on the 4th day of july
The personnel man he questioned me,
until I nearly cried
Made me fill in forms,
until I shook with fear
About the colour of my toilet roll
and if my cousin's queer.
Here's your gold watch and the
shackles for your chains
And your piece of paper,
to say you left here sane
And if you've a son
who wants a good career
Just get him to sign
on the dotted line and work for 20 years

He asked me how many jobs I'd had before
He nearly had a heart attack
when I answered four
Four jobs of 20 years or more,
this can never be
We only take on men,
who work on until they die
Here's your gold watch
and the shackles for your chains
And your piece of paper,
to say you left here sane
And if you've a son
who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line
and work for 20 years
He took me outside to
where the gravestones stand in line
This is where we bury them,
in quickstone and in lime
And if you're going to work for us,
this you must agree
That if you're going to die,
please do it during tea – break
Here's your gold watch
and the shackles for your chains
And your piece of paper,
to say you left here sane
And if you've a son
who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line
and work for 20 years

This story that you've hear,
you may think rather queer
But it is the truth you'll
be surprised to hear
I did not want some job up on the board
I just wanted to take a broom
and sweep the bloody floor.
Here's your goldwatch
and the shackles for your chain
And your piece of paper
to say you left here sane.
And if you've a son
who wants a good career
Just get him to sign on the dotted line
and work for fifty years.
