Work (Riffs
Masters at Work Lyrics

Oh so you the man who come to sweep the yard, the yard man.
I see that you have come to take care of my yard. You must be the yard man.

I like that broom stick your carrying yes baby I like it.
I find that broomstick you're carrying quite appealing. It looks good on you.

I want you to take your broom and sweep up my yard. You better brush it good or we could fall apart.
I am entrusting you to sweep up my yard. Make sure you do a good job, or it could lead to bigger problems.

Don't give me no shortcut thing you have all day and night. I had to satisfy,so you better do it right.
I do not want any shortcuts. You have plenty of time to do the job, so make sure you do it right and satisfy my needs.

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
Get to work and give it your all. Put in some extra effort and make sure you finish strong. If you do it right, I want to reward you with more than just a compliment.

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
These repeated commands are a thinly-veiled instruction for the yard man to perform oral sex on the singer.

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
Don't forget that you are here to do one specific thing. Don't try to sneak in anything else, like picking my fruit. You started off strong but don't get lazy now.

Oh yes yes baby I like the work you do on my yard. You do reel good work yard man.
I appreciate the hard work you are doing in my yard. You are a talented 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
I sense that you are getting nervous about the task at hand. Don't make excuses about feeling pain. Don't waste my time because I will get angry. And you should know there is a dangerous creature down there that could harm your broomstick.

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?
Women, you need a yard man if you want to be a strong, independent person. Men, you understand the importance of hard work, right?

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
If anyone wants to challenge you, tell them to bring it on. Come and face the singer if you dare.

Work, work, work,work,work Work, work, work,work,work Work, work, work,work,work
This is another push to the yard man to keep working diligently and tirelessly until the job is complete.
