  • By: mac mcanally
  • 1970
  • For mac who reminds me of me seven years ago
  • In the middle of late last night I was sittin on a curb
  • I didnt know what about, but I was feelin quite disturbed
  • A street sweeper came whistlin by, he was bouncin every step
  • It seemed strange how good he felt, so I asked him while he swept
  • Chorus:
  • He said, its my job to be cleaning up this mess
  • And thats enough reason to go for me
  • Its my job to be better than the rest
  • And that makes a day for me.
  • I got an uncle who owns a bank, hes a self-made millionaire
  • He never had anyone to love, never had no one to care
  • He always seemed kinda sad to me and I asked him why that was
  • And he told me its because in my contract theres this clause
  • Chorus:
  • That says, its my job to be worried half to death
  • And thats the thing people respect in me
  • Its my job but without it Id be less
  • Than what I expect from me.
  • Now Ive been lazy most all my life writin songs and sleepin late
  • And any manual labor Ive done was purely by mistake
  • If street sweepers can smile then Ive got no right to feel upset
  • But sometimes I still forget
  • til the lights go on and the stage is set
  • And the song hits home and you feel that sweat
  • Chorus:
  • Its my job to be different than the rest
  • And thats enough reason to go for me
  • Its my job to be better than the rest
  • And thats a rough break for me
  • Chorus:
  • Its my job to be cleaning up this mess
  • And thats enough reason to go for me
  • Its my job to be better than the rest
  • And that makes the day for me
  • - notes:
