Menial Boy


G C G7 G
He gets up in the morning, he gets ready for his work,
C C7 G7 G
He’s unappreciated, he’s considered as a jerk
G C G7 G
When he’s at his labour, he don’t get no joy,
C C7 G7 G
After all is said and done, he’s just a menial boy

Menial boy, menial boy

Works without a thank you
D7 G ~ ~
A total lack of joy!

G C G7 G
Underutilised, his skills are all dismissed,
C C7 G7 G
Fed up and resentful, he gets ‘really pissed’
G C G7 G
When he’s gone he’s gone, there ain’t no going back,
C C7 G7 G
They just fail to realise, how he keeps em’ all on track

G C G7 G
He turns up every morning, he works hard every day,
C C7 G7 G
He never moans or makes a fuss, or asks for extra pay
G C G7 G
Under-estimated, sidelined and abused,
C C7 G7 G
His finest works goes unannounced, his talents hardly used

Works without a thank you

A total lack of joy!

G C G7 G
Unassuming, unabashed, a worker through and through,
C C7 G7 G
He does the jobs you love to hate, the jobs you just won’t do
G C G7 G
The backbone of your business, the chap who’ll be your friend,
C C7 G7 G
The one who’ll walk out laughing, cos’ he’ll leave you in the end

G C G
Menial boy, menial boy
B7 A7
Works without a thank you
D7 G
A total lack of joy!
