I got the old Q shuffle blues
Try to get a job but it ain't no use
I got the old Q shuffle blues
Look for a job but it ain't no use
I got the old Q shuffle blues
Get to the front, they send you to the back
Fill out a form and they send you a check
I can't afford much on the money I get
Like drinking and dressing and the TV set
Well that's alright if that's what you
choose I got the old Q shuffle blues
I got the old Q shuffle blues Look for a job but it ain't no use
I got the old Q shuffle blues Look for a job but it ain't no use
I got the old Q shuffle blues Try to get a job that'll suit my mind
I get the same story every time You got no papers,
your hair's too long
We had a good job but that one's gone
And anyway we don't know if we like your
views I got the old Q shuffle blues
Take your partner,
shuffle to the right Shuffle to the left,
shuffle out of sight
Do the hokey pokey and come back
again Cause that's what it's all about
I got the old Q shuffle blues I'm
looking for a job but it ain't no use
I got the old Q shuffle blues Try to get a job but it ain't no use
I got the old Q shuffle blues Once you get it,
they won't let you quit it
They wish they could use you but you're not a computer
So you get to the front,
send you to the back Start all over again
I got the old Q shuffle blues Try to get a job but it ain't no use
