� 2007 Harvey H. Warwick III
I seem to do most of the work around here
But what good it does me is not really clear.
I studied hard while I was going to school
But am not that much better off than a fool.
I�m known as a really dependable guy
But haven�t succeeded yet, though I still try.
You�d think I�d be famous, with all that I do
But if you should mention my name, folks say �Who?
Is he that new guy who�s on late night TV
Who comes on much later than I get to see?
Or was he just drafted by our local team
And gets paid more money than I�ll ever dream?�
If you�re not on TV and you have no dough
Then you�re not someone everybody would know.
If you�re just a regular guy with a job
You�re no more outstanding than some uncouth slob.
And if with that job you cannot pay your bills
Then life tends to lose its immediate thrills.
Perhaps maybe someday I�ll meet with success
Then mentioning my name will really impress
The average man in the street, but �til then
I�m just one of millions of poor working men.
