I don't want a full-time job no more No, I don't want a full-time job no more I want to get up late and work from twelve till four No, I don't want a full-time job no more. I wanna part time job with twice the pay Oh, I wanna part time job with twice the pay But I won't get that I know there's just no way José Oh, I wanna part time job with twice the pay But you can't get what you want No, you can't get what you want Without a little bit of money in you pocket No, you can't get what you want I don't want to have to pay the rent No, I don't want to have to pay the rent As soon as money's earned the moneys' spent Cos all of us, we have to pay our rent.

I don't have a full-time job no more No, I don't have full-time job no more And yes the wolf's just kept from the door But I don't have a full-time job no more. But I don't know what I want No, I don't know what I want I've got a little bit of money in my pocket But I don't know what I want But I don't know what I want No, I don't know what I want I've got a little bit of money in my pocket But I don't know what I want!

Morning Reflections by Frosty-Faced Fogo Who has not known that painful hour,  When from the fumes of liquor waking, Reason, in part, regains her power, With stomach sick and noddle aching? Oh! how we execrate the beer, The gin, the song , the midnight revel; Ah! getting tipsy is divine, But getting sober is the devil. My memory is quite confus’d! Why did we have another bowl in? My mouth is parch’d, my bones are bruis’d,  And in the gutter I’ve been rolling! Night after night to keep it up  is of the system downright slaughter; Oh! let me have of tea a cup, And bring a glass of soda water. Left by my comrade in the lurch, With lobster raw - confound the liquor! Tis time my pantaloons to search; Ay, Jove I’ve lost my blunt and ticker. Moral: Then lads, of getting  drunk beware, And from my case take timely warning; And let your evening frolic bear  The calm reflections of the morning. F.F.F. Oxford Chronicle and Reading Gazette 09 March 1839   NB. He was dead two weeks later.
