Текст песни: Git You a Job + перевод

Early every morning on Tin Pan Alley, you could hear 'em rattlin' round

Old Jefferson the trash man and his little boy, Junior Brown

Man, he was a real big talker, talkin' to that kid

We’d listen out the window, you could hear every word he said

He said, «Son, ya got them baggy pants, your shoes are full of holes.»

The little boy belongs to the trash man’s, got a long way to go

Gonna' git you a job as a water boy in the cafe down the street

People gonna' come and drink that water just to hear you sing

Rich lady tip you a quarter from the mansion on the hill

Song man come, pick you up, probably tip you a dollar bill

Say, tell you what I’m gonna' do, I’m gonna' get you a job at the Can Can Show

The little boy belongs to the trash man’s got a long way to go

Gonna' work a little while for the Can Can, sing and dance for the folks

Git you a job on Broadway, playin' in a big time show

Little boy says, «Hey, Daddy, hey, Daddy, tell me more.»

Daddy says, «You're nearly eight years old, we better git you something goin'

People gonna' call you Mister, hang a big star on the door. «Little boy belongs to the trash man’s got a long way to go
