Masters at Work Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like that broom stick your carrying yes baby I like it.
I want you to take your broom and sweep up my yard.
You better brush it good or we could fall apart.
Don't give me no shortcut thing you have all day and night.
I had to satisfy,so you better do it right.
Work what you waiting for
Work put your back in it
Work just a little more
Work sure your wanting it now
Work till your body hurting
Work working hard and long
Work when you finish that
Work I want your god damn tongue
Go down, go down go down,
Come up, come up come up come up
Go down go down go down go down
Come up come up come up come up
Its what you come to do, Just remember that
And don't pick me fruits,you can put them back
You start of working nice,with your big broomstick
Now your easing back, like your 'fraid of brick
Work what you waiting for
Work put your back in it
Work just a little more
Work sure your wanting it now
Work till your body hurting
Work working hard and long
Work when you finish that
Work I want your god damn tongue
Go down, go down go down,
Come up, come up come up come up
Go down go down go down go down
Come up come up come up come up
Oh yes yes baby I like the work you do on my yard.
You do reel good work yard man.
I find you lookin' nervous like your afraid to fail.
Now your making excuse bout your feeling pains
Just don't waste my time cause you will get me mad.
Have a bit down there, that could bite your broomstick hard
Work what you waiting for
Work put your back in it
Work just a little more
Work sure your wanting it now
Work till your body hurting
Work working hard and long
Work when you finish that
Work I want your god damn tongue
Work I want your god damn tongue
Go down, go down go down,
Come up, come up come up come up
Go down go down go down go down
Come up come up come up come up
Come up come up come up come up
Ladies, you know if you don't have a yard man, you can't be a hard man, you know
What I'm talking about. Guys you know what I'm talking about too,not so?
And if a man want to test you tell him come, come
And if a man want to test you tell him come, come
So if a boy want to test you tell him come, come
And if a man want to test you tell him come, come
Work, work, work,work,work
Work, work, work,work,work
Work, work, work,work,work
The song "Work" by Masters at Work is a classic dance track with suggestive lyrics about a woman asking her yard man to do more than just sweep her yard. The lyrics are written from the perspective of a woman who is hiring a yard man to do some work around her yard. However, the woman is not just interested in a man who can clean her yard but is looking for someone who can please her sexually. The song is cleverly written, with double entendres that allude to the sexual relationship between the two characters.
In the first verse, the woman flirts with the yard man, telling him that she likes the broomstick he is carrying. She then asks him to sweep her yard, but warns him not to take shortcuts, as she expects him to work hard and satisfy her desires. Throughout the song, the woman encourages the yard man to work harder and put his back into it, while also making suggestive comments about his "tongue."
