I Just Haven't Got The Strength to Carry On




I Haven't Got the Strength     7/3/2009  Bob Mullany

Twenty years and more now I been workin’ for the man
I take it easy now and then, I'm sure you understand
 Boss say, " You may think you're smart,
        but I'm a little smarter.
I'll be leavin' early, stay and work a little harder"

I just haven't got the strength
No, I just haven't got the strength
God knows I haven't got the strength to carry on...

I called to tell my girl," I gotta work a little late"
She said, "I don't mind since I already have a date
Get a clue, I'm through with you, you can say you've been retired
I'm sleeping with your boss, and by the way, he says you're fired !"
    
I just haven't got the strength
No, I just haven't got the strength
God knows I haven't got the strength to carry on...

I went to see my priest and told him all about my troubles
He winked at me, said, "Son, you see, I hate to burst your bubble,
I feel so bad, you lost your job, and your old lady too
But I been tapping that for years, God knows I'll miss her more than you ! "

I just haven't got the strength
No, I just haven't got the strength
God knows I haven't got the strength to carry on...

I went down to the hospital to visit my physician

He did some tests, said, "Get some rest, then call up the mortician""That can't be, it can't be me, I''m an oldie, but a goodie,
Though sometimes when the pressure's on
I can't quite get a woodie"

I just haven't got the strength
No, I just haven't got the strength
God knows I haven't got the strength to carry on...
