You get up every morning from alarm clock's warning Take the 8:15 into the city There's a whistle up above and people pushing, people shoving And the girls who try to look pretty And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine And start your slavin' jobs and get your pay If you ever get annoyed, look at me, I'm self-employed I love to work at nothing all day
[...]
If it were easy as fishing, you could be a musician If you could make sounds loud or mellow Get a secondhand guitar, chances are you'll go far If you get in with the right bunch of fellows People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun You tell them that you like it this way It's the work that we avoid and we're all self-employed We love to work at nothing all day
I guess he never heard the song.

You get up every morning from alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushing, people shoving
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time, you can get to work by nine
And start your slavin' jobs and get your pay
If you ever get annoyed, look at me, I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

If it were easy as fishing, you could be a musician
If you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a secondhand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun
You tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid and we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day
