Workin' for MCA

[Verse 1]

Seven years of hard luck, coming down on me

From the Florida border, yes up to Nashville Tennessee

I worked in every joint you can name, mister every honky tonk

Along come Mr. Yankee Slicker, saying maybe you're what I want

[Chorus]

Want you to sign your contract

Want you to sign today

Gonna give you lots of money

Workin' for MCA

[Verse 2]

9000 dollars, that's all we could win

But we smiled at the Yankee Slicker with a big ol' Southern grin

They're gonna take me out to California gonna make me a superstar

Just pay me all my money, mister, maybe you won't get a scar

[Chorus]

Want you to sign your contract

Want you to sign today

Gonna give you lots of money

Workin' for MCA

[Electric Piano and Guitar solos]

[Verse 3]

Oh slickers took my money since I was seventeen

If it ain't no pencil pusher, then it got to be a honky tonk queen

But I'll sign my contract baby, and I want you people to know

That every penny that I make, I'm gonna see where my money goes

[Chorus]

Want you to sign your contract

Want you to sign today

Gonna give you lots of money

Workin' for MCA
