Oney

<p>[Intro]<br/>I dedicate this song to the working man<br/>For every man that puts in<br/>Eight or ten hard hours a day of work and toil and sweat<br/>Always got somebody looking down his neck<br/>Trying to get more out of him<br/>Than he really ought to have to put in<br/><br/>[Verse 1]<br/>After twenty-nine long years of working in this shop<br/>With Oney standing over me<br/>Today when that old whistle blows<br/>I&#x27;ll check in all my gear and I&#x27;ll retire<br/>The superintendent just dropped by<br/>And said they&#x27;d planned my little get together<br/>Then he said I&#x27;d never a made it<br/>If old Oney hadn&#x27;t held me to the fire<br/>[Verse 2]<br/>I&#x27;ve seen him in my dreams at night<br/>And woke up in the morning feeling tired<br/>And old Oney don&#x27;t remember<br/>When I came here, how he tried to get me fired<br/>With his folded hands behind him<br/>Every morning Oney waited at the gate<br/>Where he&#x27;d rant and rave like I committed murder<br/>Clocking in five minutes late<br/><br/>[Verse 3]<br/>But today they&#x27;ll gather &#x27;round me<br/>Like I&#x27;ve seen them do when any man retires<br/>Then old Oney&#x27;s going to tell me<br/>From now on I&#x27;m free to do what I desire<br/>He&#x27;ll present me with that little old gold watch<br/>They give a man at times like this<br/>But there&#x27;s one thing he&#x27;s not counting on<br/>Today&#x27;s the day I give old Oney his<br/><br/>[Verse 4]<br/>I&#x27;ve been working, building muscles<br/>Oney&#x27;s just been standing around a getting soft<br/>And today about four-thirty<br/>I&#x27;ll make up for every good night&#x27;s sleep I&#x27;ve lost<br/>When I&#x27;m gone I&#x27;ll be remembered<br/>As the working man who put his point across<br/>With a right hand full of knuckles<br/>Because today I show old Oney who&#x27;s the boss<br/>[Outro]<br/>Hmmmm! What time is it? Four thirty!<br/>Hey, Oney!<br/>Oney! Ha ha ha ha!
