Lyrics
Working the press or sweeping the boards In a shed in Tugonmain Or down a hole in a Mt Isa mine Drilling gold on a 12 hour day Cutting cane after tropical rain In the blistering Queensland sun Out here the work is hard But we'll get the job done What's wrong with a little hard work?
Put some muscle in boy 'til it hurts
What's wrong with a little hard work?
What's wrong with a little hard work?
A two week swing on a North West rig
Pumping gas down to the shore
Or running bores on a Kimberly Station
Of half a million acres or more
Fixing fences hanging gates or
Bringing in the mob
Working's in the heat 'til you damn near dead But it's all just part of the job What's wrong with a little hard work?
Put some muscle in boy 'til it hurts
What's wrong with a little hard work?
What's wrong with a little hard work?
A fair days work for a fair days pay
Is what makes this nation proud
'Cause Australia was built on a little hard work So join in with the crowd And shout it out loud What's wrong with a little hard work?
Put some muscle in boy 'til it hurts
What's wrong with a little hard work?
