man wants to work...for his pay
man wants a place...in the sun
man wants a gal proud to say
That shell [bad word] his lovin wife
He wants a chance to give his kids a better life
Well hello ah.... hello brother

You can travel all around the world and back
You can fly or sail or ride a railroad track
But no matter where you go youre gonna find
That people have the same things on their minds

man wants to work...for his pay
man wants a place...in the sun

Well hello brother, hello

He wants a chance to give his kids a better life, yes
Well hello, hello, brother hello
