I put in 15 hours of work today
and I'll work 17 tomorrow
I hope someday to earn sufficient pay
to buy my way out of this sorrow
and meanwhile...
Paul Allen owns an island
Paul Allen owns a yacht
I work every bit as hard as him
and what have I got?
Paul Allen owns the Seahawks
and the Sounders and the Blazers too
He pays those guys a billion dollars
just to play a game.
I'm gone before my wife and kids arise
I get home after they've retired
but that's the sacrifice I have to make
or else I'm likely to get fired
and meanwhile...
Paul Allen owns an island
Paul Allen owns a 400-foot yacht
I work every bit as hard as him
and what have I got?
I got this song
Yes I got this song
Won't you sing along...
Paul Allen owns an island
Paul Allen owns a yacht
I work every bit as hard as him
and what have I got?
Paul Allen owns a museum
Charges you and me 15 bucks a pop!
I work every bit as hard as him
and what have I got?
I got this song
Yes I got this song
Yeah I got this song
It's three minutes long.
