(Spoken:)
I'm Bruno Wolf; I've been here 15 years
I've always been on time and done my job
day for day. And I kept my mouth shut.
But today, today I gotta say it:
Hey boss, I need more money!
Every morning I ride my bike to work
I give my best and do my duty
And if you think all I do there is hang out
I'm not the type for these kinds of things
Aren't I a guy who holds up the whole company?
Who'll never miss a day and work like a dog?
Hey, hey, hey boss, I need more money!
Hey, hey, hey boss, I need more money!
For weeks my wife's in bed and coughing out her lungs
And kids I've got plenty here at home
She used to make some decent cash on the side
And my oldest boy delivered papers in the morning
Since he's got a chick, he's been in another world
And that's the reason now I need every penny
Hey, hey, hey boss, I need more money!
Hey, hey, hey boss, I need more money!
I don't plan to build a palace, I just need enough for us
Because men like me, we really have it tough
Just an occasional vacation with our kids, wife and dog
Because for far too long, we've been living hand to mouth
Hey, hey, hey!
Hey, hey, hey boss, I need more money!
If you're struggling like me, you might allow yourself a beer
And come home late at night
And if you don't have lots of cash, your pockets quickly go flat
That's why my oven's not running no more
That's probably why my wife's been getting kinda cool
So even if you don't like it sir, I'm right here in front of you:
Hey, hey, hey boss, I need more money!
Hey, hey, hey boss, I need more money!
Hey, hey, hey boss, I need more money!
Hey, hey, hey boss, I need more money!
