Jump Through The Hoops Lyrics - Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Wake up and shake myself out of bed again 

Shaking the day down in my head and then 

It's up and out, rise and shine, on the double 

No time to slack, attack and tackle the trouble 

Shake myself out of bed again 

No time to stop and assess, can't let it grind to a halt 

Can't stop and look at the mess and then find out it's my fault 

I can't stop for a single minute, I know hell, well, I'm living in it 

No time to stop at all, I've got to jump through the hoops 

My job, well it's a nine to five nightmare 

I'm serving whiskey, stale with and beer 

Come on in, how've you been? Have I met you? 

What'll it be now, what can I get you? 

My job, well it's a nightmare and every day from nine to five I'm there 

No time to stop and assess, can't let it grind to a halt 

Can't stop and look at the mess and then find out it's my fault 

I can't stop for a single minute, I know hell, well, I'm living in it 

No time to stop at all, I've got to jump through the hoops 

Roll over, sit up and beg 

Well, I'd much rather lie down and play dead 

Here comes another hoop 

Holidays have got to be the worst 

I've seen so many, I've got it well rehearsed 

Joy to the world, hark the hey, let me hear it 

Deick the halls, trim the street, that's the spirit 

Holidays are not for me, chop down the tree they've got to be the worst 

I'm old and set in my ways, no stopping now, it's a shame 

But in my much younger days I'd stop and I'd take the blame 

I'm alright if I don't know and can't see 

I'll live in hell till the day that they plant me 

No time to stop at all, I've got to jump through the hoops 

Roll over, it up and beg 

Well I'd much rather, I'd much rather 

I'd much rather lie down and play dead 

All over, so long my friend so long, all over, the end
