Paycheck Woman
Cledus T. Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If your gonna lay around and sleep all day
You better work third shift a night
In a carpet mill or a truck stop, even if it's for minimum wage
Oh you can get yourself some pasties
And get up there on that stage
Now the baptist look down on you
'Cause you can dance butt naked on a big brass poll
As long as you're making tips
'Cause I want a paycheck woman don't want no welfare broad
All the chicks I date are lazy I say hey y'all get a job
You better bring home the bacon and fry it up when you get home
You can't sit and watch soap operas while I work hard all day long
So here's to all my brothers out there pulling down O.T.
Let me get a big hell yeah, from the working men like me
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Employee discounts, well their real nice
I hear the head cashier at Wal-Mart can get fishing lures half price
Ain't that sexy, really sexy when a woman saves money
But what really turns me on is a two income family
So even if it's part time
Bagging groceries at the store
You better get out there and punch that clock
'Cause I'm sick of being poor
I want a paycheck woman don't want no welfare broad
All the chicks I date are lazy I say hey y'all get a job
You better bring home the bacon and fry it up when you get home
You can't lay there eating Bon Bons while I work hard all week long
So here's to all the woman who think money grows on trees
Ah let me get a big hell no, from the working mens like me
Hell no, hell no
I want a paycheck woman don't want no welfare broad
All the chicks I date are lazy I say hey y'all get a job
You better bring home the bacon and fry it up when you get home
You can't sit and watch soap operas while I work hard all day long
So here's to all my brothers out there putting in forty
Ah let me get a big hell yeah, from the working men like me
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Hell yeah, hell yeah
Hell yeah
In Cledus T. Judd's song "Paycheck Woman," the lyrics describe the singer's desire for a working woman who brings home a paycheck and contributes equally to the household income. He expresses frustration with lazy women who do not work and suggests that even a minimum wage job is better than nothing. The lyrics also imply that dancing at a strip club is a viable option for making money, despite societal judgment from the Baptist community. The singer also mentions his attraction to women who are financially responsible and contribute to a two-income household, even if their job is part-time. Ultimately, the song encourages women to work hard and contribute to their families financially, rather than relying on welfare.
Overall, the song reflects traditional gender roles and expectations, with the man as the primary breadwinner and the woman expected to contribute financially. However, it also acknowledges the reality of modern life, with women working outside of the home and pursuing nontraditional careers. The song can be interpreted as a critique of welfare and a call for personal responsibility and hard work.
