Dear fellow colleagues,
I have a very silly question, actually.
I have this song in mind - I think it's from sometime back in the eighties, though I may be wrong - for over a week now, and I simply cannot think of the name or the artist of the song.
If anyone could help, I'd be more than thankful - this is starting to frustrate me..lol
The only part of the song I can remember is:
"I work hard for my money..(nanana)

The only part of the song I can remember is:
"I work hard for my money..(nanana)
haaa-aard for my money.
I work hard for my money
and I ..blah blah blah something"
I can't remember anymore. It might not even be right, they way I remember it. It's been a while - in fact, I ask myself, was I even born then? ...
Many thanks in advance for any replies!
Best regards from Germany!

Were you born?
By the way, the lyrics are:
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
Onetta there in the corner stand
and wonders where she is and
it's strange to her
some people seem to have everything

She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
Onetta there in the corner stand
and wonders where she is and
it's strange to her
some people seem to have everything
Nine a.m. on the hour hand
and she's waiting for the bell
and she's looking real pretty
just wait for her clientele
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
Twenty five years have
come and gone
and she' seen a lot of tears
of the ones who come in
they really seem to need her there
It's a sacrifice working day to day
for little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
just to hear them say that they care
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She already knows
she's seen her bad times
she already knows
these are the good times
She'll never sell out
she never will
not for a dollar bill
she works hard
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
She works hard for the money
so hard for it honey
she works hard for the money
so you better treat her right
Have fun! ▲ Collapse

TOPIC STARTER | That's the one! | Oct 14, 2003 |
Thanks you all, very, very, VERY much! You cannot imagine how much it bugged me...having this song in my head all the time!
I dug out Dad's old records and voilà - there it is!
And you're right, Alexandra, we do work hard, indeed!
Natalie, I was born 1979, which means, I was 4. Wow, talk about a good tune. It's almost like it's been burned into my memory
Again, thank you... See more Thanks you all, very, very, VERY much! You cannot imagine how much it bugged me...having this song in my head all the time!
