Keep On Working

I was digging in the yard today

When a letter came from Southampton way

Keep on working

Keep on working

I must admit, I was a bit in the red

But if you never have pleasure, then you could be dead

Keep on working

Keep on working

Keep on working

Keep on working

But there's one thing

They can't take away

Hear the sea sing

See a smiling face

I think we're okay

Though we all could be mad

Well, that's what they say

We just can't all be bad

I got something now to think about

I'll work all day but not to pay it out

Keep on working

Keep on working

Don't care if they say we are a dying race

I'd rather be here than any other place

Keep on working

Keep on working

Keep on working

Keep on working

And there's another whirl

They can't ever touch

Just need a boy and girl

And it don't cost you much

And if your luck is in

You might have kids at play

To make you laugh and sing

When you're old and grey

Keep on working

Keep on working

Keep on working

Keep on working

I was digging in the yard today

When a letter came from Southampton way

Keep on working

Keep on working

I got to admit, I was a bit in the red

But if you never have pleasure, then you might as well be dead

Keep on working

Keep on working

Keep on working

Keep on working

And there's another whirl

They can't ever touch

Just need a boy and girl

And it don't cost you much

And if your luck is in

You might have kids at play

They'll make you laugh and sing

When you're old and grey

Keep on working, keep on working

Keep on working, keep on working

Keep on working, keep on working

Keep on working, keep on working

Keep on working, keep on working

Keep on working, keep on working

Keep on working, keep on working

Keep on working, work
