Workin' For MCA (Remastered 2025)

[Verse 1]

Seven years of hard luck coming down on me

From the Florida border, yeah, up to Nashville, Tennessee

I worked in every joint you can name, Mr. 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

Give you lots of money

Working for MCA

[Verse 2]

Nine thousand 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

Give you lots of money

Working for MCA

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Oh, suckеrs took my money since I was sevеnteen

And if it ain't no pencil pusher, then it gotta be a honky-tonk queen

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

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

Give you lots of money

Working for MCA
