Lyrics
Big boss manCan't you hear me when I call
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call
Says you ain't so big
You just tall, that's just about all
Well you got me workin, boss man
Workin' all around the clock
Want a little drink of water
But you won't let Bobby stop
Now big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call
Says you ain't so big
You just tall, that's just about all
Gonna get me another boss man
One that gonna treat me right
Work me all in the daytime
Sure get stoned at night
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call
Says you ain't so big
You just tall, that's just about all
Well you got me workin, boss man
Workin all around the clock
I want a little drink of water
But you won't let Bobby stop
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call
Says you ain't so big
You just tall, that's just about all
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call...
Says you ain't so big
You just tall, that's just about all
