Work Song - Robert Calvert

You work all night

And it’s really frightening

'Cause you’re so ambitious

It’s just a habit

That you have to grab it You’re avaricious

I know you’ll make it But I just can’t take it You’re so ambitious

Nothing’s ever going to make you stop

Not even when you’ve made it to the top

You’re a workaholic

It’s so hyperbolic

You’re so ambitious

You’re so ambitious

You’re so ambitious

For the road

You’re a finance wizard

A Stock Exchange lizard

'Cause you’re so ambitious

Always talking deals

Turning cogs and wheels

You’re so ambitious

What has happened to the girl I knew?

When you’re rich and famous you’ll just say we’re through

You want a Rolls-Royce motor

And an eighty-foot boat, oh You’re so ambitious

Your satisfaction

Is a new transaction

'Cause you’re so ambitious

Your excitation

Is negotiation

'Cause you’re so ambitious

You want a house that’s Georgian

And ahead you’re forgin'

You’re so ambitious

Nothing’s ever going to make you stop

Not even when you’ve made it to the top

You’re so ambitious

You’ve got a pinstriped suit

A polka-dot computer

You’re so ambitious

Your calculator

It says «see you later»

Its voice sounds vicious

I know you’ll make it But I just can’t take it You’re so ambitious

Nothing’s ever going to make you stop

Not even when you’ve made it to the top
