Hey everybody take a look at me
I ve got street credibility
I may not have a job
But I have a good time
With the boys that I meet "down on the line"

I DON T NEED YOU
So you don t approve
Wellwho asked you to?
HEYJERK YOU WORK
This guy s got better things to do
HELL
I ain t never gonna workget down in the dirt
I chooseto cruise
Gonna live my lifesharp as a knife
I ve found my groove and I just can t lose
I m style from head to toe
Cool cat flash gonna let you know
I m a soul boy - I m a dole boy -
Take pleasure in leisureI believe in joy!

[CHORUS:]
WHAM!
BAM!
I AM!
A MAN!
JOB OR NO JOB
YOU CAN T TELL ME THAT I M NOT
DO!

ENJOY WHAT YOU DO?
IF NOT
JUST STOP!
DON T STAY THERE AND ROT!

Party nightsand neon lights
We hit the floorswe hit the heights
Dancing shoesand pretty girls
Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls!
Hot - damn! Everybodylet s play!
So they promised you a good job - NO WAY!
Onetwothreerap!
C mon everybodyDON T NEED THIS CRAP!

[CHORUS]

IF YOU RE A PUB MAN
OR A CLUB MAN
MAYBE A JET BLACK GUY WITH A HIP HI-FI
A WHITE COOL CAT WITH A TRILBY HAT
MAYBE LEATHER AND STUDS IS WHERE YOU RE AT
MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY DAY
DON T LET HARD TIMES STAND IN YOUR WAY
GIVE A WHAM GIVE A BAM BUT DON T GIVE A DAMN
COS THE BENEFIT GANG ARE GONNA PAY!

Now reach up high and touch your soul
The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal
It s gonna break your mama s heart (so sad)
It s gonna break your daddy s heart (too bad)
Just throw the dice and take my advice
Cos I know that you re smart
Can you dig this thing? (YEAH!)
Are you gonna get down? (YEAH!)
Say Wham! WHAM!
Say Bam! BAM!

[CHORUS x3]

Do you wanna work
Are you gonna have fun
Do you wanna be a jerk
Are you gonna stay young

Everybody say WHAM!
Say BAM!
Everybody say WHAM!
Say WHAM! BAM!
