iand'm a soul boy - iand'm a dole boy,
take pleasure in leisure, i believe in joy!
Chorus
Party nights, and neon lights,
we hit the floors, we hit the heights.
dancing shoes, and pretty girls.
boys in leather kiss girls in pearls!

so they promised you a good job - no way!
One, two, three, rap!
cand'mon everybody, donand't need this crap!
Chorus
If youand're a pub man
or a club man
maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi
a white cool cat with a trilby hat
maybe leather and studs is where youand're at
make the most of every day
donand't let hard times stand in your way
give a wham give a bam but donand't give a damn
cos the benefit gang are gonna pay!
Now reach up high and touch your soul,
the boys from wham! will help you reach that goal.
itand's gonna break your mamaand's heart, (so sad)
itand's gonna break your daddyand's heart, (too bad)
but youand'll throw the dice and take my advice,
because i know that youand're smart.

are you gonna get down? - yeah!
say wham! - wham!

Chorus
Do you want to work? - no
