"Occupational Years"

about

Over the course of my years of employment, (Besides being a songwriter!) I have found that the best and most frequent atmosphere of humor and joking around was while I worked in the trades. It is with this observation and sentimental inspiration that I wrote this song.

lyrics

The telephone chimes, forcing your body
To get up and out of bed
Pop some pills and drink the coffee
To clear the cobwebs from your head

Meanwhile tell a joke to get you by
As the occupational years fly on by

Young co workers have no idea
Young coworkers have all the ideas
They'll never say, hey I feel ya

Meanwhile tell a joke to get you by
As the occupational years fly on by


Yesterday's breakthroughs
Are today's common ground
A race against time, was to be found
Requires the memory to stay in line

Meanwhile tell a joke to get you by
As the occupational years fly on by
