lyrics

Got a job to do
Got a job to do
and I'm a see it through

Got a job to do
Got a job to do
and I'm a see it through

Before the sun comes up before the lights are on
Before the moment when the dusk becomes the dawn
I'm already movin at the speed of light
Before the beans are ground
Before the coffees brewed
Before the sun trades its place with moon
I'm already movin at the speed of light

Got a job to do
Got a job to do
and I'm a see it through

Got a job to do
Got a job to do
and I'm a see it through

Hit the street and my pedals take me far
Head fast right across this concrete scar
They call the suburbs
Cars are honkin
Dogs are barkin at me now
As I move past them at the speed of sound
Extra Extra
Read all about it

Aint much but its a job
Aint much but its a job
Aint much but its a job
Lace up my shoes and I'm gone

Got a job to do
Got a job to do
and I'm a see it through

Got a job to do
Got a job to do
and I'm a see it through
Got a job to do
Got a job to do
and I'm a see it through

Imagine for a moment that Bo Diddley and Otis Redding are going on a road trip to Chicago, James Brown is bouncin' around in the back seat and Aretha Franklin is threatening to turn the whole car around if they don't settle down. Needless to say Paperboy is not a group that you sit still to enjoy! ... more
