My friend's got a girlfriend
Man, he hates that bitch
He tells me every day
He says, "Man, I really gotta lose my chick
In the worst kind of way"

She sits on her ass
He works his hands to the bone
To give her money every payday
But she wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend
You gotta say

I won't pay, I won't pay, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?

I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
To keep her bill collectors at bay
I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough
'Cause that girl's got expensive taste

I won't pay, I won't pay, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?

Well, I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all, oh yeah
But hey, man, free rides just don't come along
Every day (let me tell you about my other friend now)

My friend's got a boyfriend, man, she hates that dick (this guy)
She tells me every day (woo, every day now)
He wants more dinero just to stay at home
Well, my friend
You gotta say (gotta say)

I won't pay, I won't pay, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?
Say no way, say no way, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job? (Oh yeah)

I won't give you no money, I always pay (no money)
Na-na, why don't you get a job? (Get a job)
Say no way, say no way, no way
Na-na, why don't you get a job?

Hey, that's something everyone can enjoy

    Has anyone realized this sounds like the beatles song 'ob la di, ob la da'?
