Lyrics

First Day at Work

It's your first day at work

It's your first day at work

And you feel so nervous

You feel just like a jerk

It's your first day at work

It's your first day at work

And you feel so nervous

You feel just like a jerk

And your boss is being nice to you

But that's just for today

Tomorrow he'll be mean to you

So you better listen up

And do what you're s'posed to do

Do what you're s'posed to do

It's your first day at work

It's your first day at work

And you feel so nervous

You feel just like a jerk

It's your first day at work

It's your first day at work

And you feel so nervous

You feel just like a jerk

And your boss is being nice to you

But that's just for today

Tomorrow he'll be mean to you

So you better listen up

And do what you're s'posed to do

Do what you're s'posed to do

It's your first day at work

It's your first day at work

And you feel so nervous

You feel just like a jerk

It's your first day at work
