Odd Jobs

I do odd jobs all of the time

I'll do anything for a dime

Well, not quite, but you get my drift

they really give me a lift, financially,

oh can't ya see



Chorus:

I'm into odd jobs

I'm into odds n' ends

I'm a moonlighter

No full-time job for me



I live a life of leisure

to afford some pleasure

I do odd jobs

to make ends meet

I read want-ads on the street



No nine to five for me

cuz I wanna be free

I work off and on

But I'm looked down upon

Well, I don't care



I work part-time full-time

I'm so flexible

I don't like a full schedule

I've got lotsa things to do

You know that it's true



I'll do a long-term project

every once in awhile

I don't do it too often though

It's just not my style

Author's Notes/Comments:
