You say it's your workday
Well, it's my workday too, yeah
You say you hate your workday
I can't say I do
I'm glad it's my workday
I'm happy gardening, ooo-yeah

Yes I'm having me a garden party
While you're cooped up indoors just making money
To buy stuff I'm glad I have no need for

(Workday) I would like you to dance
(Workday) Take a cha-cha-cha-chance
(Workday) You can wear these workpants
Pants! (pants!) yeah!

(Workday) I would like you to dance
(Workday) Take a cha-cha-cha-chance
(Workday) Don't look at me askance
Askance! (askance!)

You say it's your workday
Well, it's my workday too, yeah
So sorry it's your workday
I'm gonna have a good time
Try trading in your workday
When you're dead it'll be too late

Comments: Many fans have taken up the Beetless on their offer to lend out workpants. Through frequent visits to second-hand stores and garage sales, the Beetless have been able to meet the demand affordably.
