Song Lyrics: Contemporary or Dated
Brain BenderI am a “Jack of all Trades, Master of none.”Like other highly-qualified professionals,
my income and public reverence improve as my expertise increases.
My job is so easy because the work I do is handed to me by my boss.
According to one state governor, all I have to do is “show up” to do my job.
I only work about 7 hours each day and 6 months per year.
I am just a “glorified babysitter.”
