Wham, bam - I am, a man
Job or no job, you can’t tell me that I'm not
Do you, enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop - don’t stay there and rot
You got soul…
You got soul…
I said get, get, get on down
I said get-get-get on down
I said get, get, get on down
I said get-get-get on down
Hey everybody, take a look at me
I've got street credibility
I may not have a job, but I have a good time
With the boys that I meet, "down on the line"
I said, I don’t need you (I don’t need you)
So you don't approve, well who asked you to? - Hey
Hey jerk, you work (hey jerk, you work)
This boy's got better things to do - hell…
I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt
I choose to cruise
Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife
I've found my groove, and I just can't lose
A.1. style, from head to toe
Cool cat flash, gonna let you know
I'm a soul boy, I'm a dole boy
Take pleasure in leisure, I believe in joy
[Chorus]
Wham, bam - I am, a man
Job or no job, you can’t tell me that I'm not
Do you, enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop - don’t stay there and rot
Party nights, and neon lights
We hit the floors, we hit the heights
Dancing shoes, and pretty girls
Boys in leather, kiss girls in pearls
Hot-damn, everybody let's play
So they promised you a good job - no way (no way)
One, two, three, rap
C'mon everybody, don’t need this crap (don’t need this crap)
[Chorus]
Wham, bam - I am, a man
Job or no job, you can’t tell me that I'm not
Do you, enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop - don’t stay there and rot
If you’re a pub man, or a club man
Maybe a jet black guy, with a hip hi-fi
A white cool cat, with a trilby hat
Maybe leather and studs, is where you’re at
Make the most, of every day
Don’t let hard times, stand in your way
Give a Wham, give a bam, but don’t give a damn
Cos the benefit gang, are gonna pay
Now reach up high, and touch your soul
The boys from Wham, will help you reach that goal
It's gonna break your mama's heart (so sad)
It's gonna break your daddy's heart (too bad)
But you'll throw the dice, and take my advice
Because I know, that you're smart
Can you dig this thing? (yeah)
Are you gonna get down? (yeah)
Say Wham (Wham)
Say bam (bam)
[Chorus x 3]
Wham, bam - I am, a man
Job or no job, you can’t tell me that I'm not
Do you, enjoy what you do?
If not, just stop - don’t stay there and rot
Do you want to work? (no)
Are you gonna have fun? (yeah)
Do you wanna be a jerk? (no)
Are you gonna stay young? (yeah)
Everybody say Wham (Wham)
Say bam (bam)
Everybody say Wham (Wham)
Say Wham-bam (Wham-bam)
Can you dig this thing? (can you dig this thing)
Are you gonna get down (down - down)
Say one, two, three, rap
C'mon everybody, don’t need this crap (don’t need this crap)
Everybody say Wham (Wham)
Say bam (bam)
Everybody say Wham (Wham)
Say Wham-bam (Wham-bam)
