When his wife gets off from work,
Now I've got a neighbor that
lives down the road a ways
His wife holds down a steady job,
he don't turn his hand all day
I know that most of you will know
the kind I'm talkin' about
The kind that rather than have to work,
There's a group of men in the court house
yard any time that you go by
Playin' checkers and tradin' odds and
makin' jokes about their wives
They wait all week for pay day and
they hold the money's plenty
And the wife that's worked those long
hard hours never gets a penny
But he's a go getter, a go getter
When his wife gets off from work,
Yes he's a go getter, a go getter
When his wife gets off from work,
He's a go getter, a go getter
When his wife gets off from work,
