Lyrics

Big Boss Man

Big boss man

Can you hear me when I call

Big boss man

Can you hear me when I call

Oh, you ain't so big

You're just tall, that's all

You got me working, boss man

Working 'round the clock

I want me a drink of water

You won't let me stop

You big boss man

Can you hear me when I call?

Oh, you ain't so big

You just tall, that's all

Gonna get myself a boss man

One gonna treat me right

Work me hard in the day time

But I'll sure rest easy at night

Big boss man

Can you hear me when I call?

Oh, you ain't so big

You just tall, that's all
