Lyrics Robert Calvert

Robert Calvert

Work Song

You work all night

And it's really frightening

'Cause you're so ambitious

It's just a habit

That you have to grab it

You're avaricious

I know you'll make it

But I just can't take it

You're so ambitious

Nothing's ever going to make you stop

Not even when you've made it to the top

You're a workaholic

It's so hyperbolic

You're so ambitious

You're so ambitious

You're so ambitious

For the road

You're a finance wizard

A Stock Exchange lizard

'Cause you're so ambitious

Always talking deals

Turning cogs and wheels

You're so ambitious

What has happened to the girl I knew?

When you're rich and famous you'll just say we're through

You want a Rolls-Royce motor

And an eighty-foot boat, oh

You're so ambitious

Your satisfaction

Is a new transaction

'Cause you're so ambitious

Your excitation

Is negotiation

'Cause you're so ambitious

You want a house that's Georgian

And ahead you're forgin'

You're so ambitious

Nothing's ever going to make you stop

Not even when you've made it to the top

You're so ambitious

Am-ambitious

You've got a pinstriped suit

A polka-dot computer

You're so ambitious

Your calculator

It says "see you later"

Its voice sounds vicious

I know you'll make it

But I just can't take it

You're so ambitious

Nothing's ever going to make you stop

Not even when you've made it to the top
