A5
Give me a job
A5
The one I havn't got
A5
Don't write me off at anytime
A5			      *1
Don't ever leave me unsatisfied
			A5
I don't wanna come in a second
A5
I just wanna come
A5
Don't wanna be the last in line
A5				*1
Don't wanna be just left behind


3. Bridge:
Both Guitars plays those chords with powerful overdrive


C5			   G5	F5
And in the evening when I come home
C5			G5	F5
It is time to throw my dog a bone
C5			G5	  F5
That's when I wear my shirt that says
	     E5			
In capital letters In capital letters


4. Chorus: 

A5		D5
Isn't it fun fun fun ...He's got no job, got no blow
	     A5
To be number one ...Got no Monica to go to 
          A5	 D5
Isn't it fun fun fun ...He's a superstar, wunderbar
	     A5	
To be number one ...Оuт of touch too much


5. Verse Two:

A5			
Don't tell me I'm small
A5	
An inch too short
A5
I might not be your size but I'm sure great
A5			*2
And definitely under paid
A5	
So give me a job
A5   		   *3	
The one I haven't got
A5				 	
Don't tell me I'm to poor to join the club
A5			   *4	
To hang out with the big shots

Isn't it fun fun fun ...He's got no job, got no blow
	      A5
To be number one ...Got no Monica to go to
	  A5      D5
Isn't it fun fun fun ...He's a V.I.P. wannabe
	       A5
To be number one ...All he ever wants is

Isn't it fun fun fun
