I'm looking for a job but I don't get the breaks.
I need some money and I'll do what it takes.
This time it's serious. This time it's serious.

I haven't had a girlfriend since I was at school.
Buying from the top shelf's really not cool.
It's more than serious. Don't wanna wear glasses.

I've gotta get a job that pays real good.
I've gotta get a car and a girl.

Shirley at the dole said come down at four.
And now I've got a job on a factory floor.
It's still quite serious. It's still quite serious.

A bloke down the pub who'd done a year in Leicester,
Sold me a naff, blue K reg. Fiesta
Buying cars is serious. And I bought a nail.

I've gotta save and get me a decent car.
I've gotta get myself a girl.

If I don't do it now I don't know when I'm gonna do it.
Gonna eat until I die.

Six months later got a decent motor.
Sold the nail to a man (it was a gift for his daughter).
Selling cars is serious. And he bought a nail.

Shirley called and said my Dad's got me a car
