Part Time Man

I was in the evening paper General Vacancy

*Part time man required in a local factory*

I put my Sunday suit on

And I gave my old boots and brush

I got on my old two wheeler

As I was in a rush

*Wait over there in the queue,

Come here when I call your name*

*Alfred Webster?* - Yes that`s me

*Kindly come this way*

With fingers crossed I follow him

And I hope it`s my lucky day

All I wanted to be was a part time man

(That`s all)

All I wanted to be was a part time man

With shaky hand I started to the best

That I was able

The man I had come to see smiled across

The table

I filled in all questions,

Name, adress and occupation

What I did in World War Three,

And my present situation

All I wanted to be was a part time man

(That`s all, That`s all)

All I wanted to be was a part time man

I went back to the waiting room

And they asked me what he said

Before I had time to answer

A woman came out and shook her head

REturned from where I came from to my old

And faithful cat

I turned off the light in my eyes

And that`s the end? that oh yeah.
