As I wake up and dress to go
On the island, dawn is breaking
In the harbor, tanker's waiting
From the land of the rising sun
They bring their old plutonium
And we unload it in the bay
For two dollars forty cents a day
Chorus:
Do you want my
Do you want my
Do you want my
Do you want my job
I hump the stuff, I take the cash
So my kids can wear Adidas
And if you live here, home, you know
We ain't got no place else to go
I remember when the air was sweet
And I brought home the fish to eat
Now we buy Spam from the grocery store
'Cause you can't eat the fish no more
Repeat chorus
Cool breezes from the mountains blow As I wake up and dress to go On the island, dawn is breaking In the harbor, tanker's waiting From the land of the rising sun They bring their old plutonium And we unload it in the bay For two dollars forty cents a day Chorus: Do you want my Do you want my Do you want my Do you want my job I hump the stuff, I take the cash So my kids can wear Adidas And if you live here, home, you know We ain't got no place else to go I remember when the air was sweet And I brought home the fish to eat Now we buy Spam from the grocery store 'Cause you can't eat the fish no more Repeat chorus Explain Request ×
