(billy lawson/larry boone)

Well I got a cousin thats twice removed
Had a crush on a girl back in school
She didnt know it he didnt let it show
Now shes married to a banker in el paso

You gotta swing that hammer
And beat that drum
Swing that hammer beat that drum
Work work work
Its a labor of love

Well I once knew a couple from arkansas
And she did hair and he hauled logs
Saved up their money and built on a room
Now theres three of them where there used to be two

You gotta swing that hammer
And beat that drum
Swing that hammer beat that drum
Work work work
Its a labor of love

No matter if youre low class, high class, middle class
Well it dont discriminate, no it dont
It dont matter if youre redneck, intellect, a beatneck
Well it all works the same, lordy lordy lordy lord now

You gotta swing that hammer
And beat that drum
Swing that hammer beat that drum
Work work work
Its a labor of love

Gotta swing that hammer
And beat that drum
Swing that hammer beat that drum
Work work work
Its a labor of love

Work work work
Its a labor of love
