1st man:
I’ve been working all damn day in this sweatshop,

I’m pumpin’ out till the end of time.
2nd deeper man:
I’ve be working all damn day in the sweatshop,

I don’t mind, ’cause I(‘ll) be looking fine,
Yeah I pumped it out to the end of times, yeah.

Doing hard labour gon(na) grow a lot of wheat.

woman:
I’ve been running in the window of the sweatshop, (oy)
