(Bm7)Work, work!

An gel i ca!

(D)Work, work!

E li za!

And (Bm7)Peg gy!

The Schuy ler sis ters!

An (D)gel i ca!

Peg gy!

E li za!

Work!

Dad dy said to be home by sun down.

Dad dy does n’t need to know.

Dad dy said not to go down town.

Like I said, you’re free to go.

Look a round, look a round, the (D)rev o lu tion’s hap pen ing in (Gmaj9)New York.

New York.

An gel i ca!

Work!

It’s bad e nough Dad dy wants to go to war.

Peo ple shout ing in the square.

It’s bad e nough there’ll be vio lence on our shore.

New i de as in the air.

Look a round, look a round, An (D)gel i ca, re mind me what we’re (Gmaj7)look in’ for...

She’s look in’ for me!

E li za, I’m look in’ for a (F#)mind at (Bm7)work, work!

I’m look in’ for a mind at (D)work, work!

I’m look in’ for a mind at (Bm7)work, work!

Whoa, ooh, whoa!

Whoa, ooh, whoa!

(D)Work!

Wooh!

There’s noth in’ like sum mer in the cit y.

Some one in a rush next to some one look in’ pret ty.

Ex cuse me, miss, I know it’s not fun ny but your per fume smells like your dad dy’s got mon ey.

Why you slum min’ in the cit y in your fan cy heels?

You search in’ for an ur chin who can give you i deals?

Burr, you dis gust me.

Ah, so you’ve dis cussed me.

I’m a trust fund, ba by, you can trust me!

I’ve been read ing “Com mon Sense” by Thom as Paine.

So men say that I’m in tense or I’m in sane.

You want a rev o lu tion?

I want a rev e la (F#m)tion, so lis ten to my dec la ra tion: “We (Em7)hold these truths to be self ev i dent, that (D)all men are cre at ed e qual.” And when (Gmaj9)I meet Thom as Jef fer son, I’m ’a com pel him to in (F#7)clude wom en in the se quel!

Work!

Look a round, look a round, at how (D)luck y we are to be a live right now!

Look a round, look a round, at how (F#m)luck y we are to be a live right now!

His to ry is hap pen in’ in Man (D)hat an and we just hap pen to be in the (Gmaj9)great est cit y in the world!

In the great est cit y in the world!

Look a round, look a round, the (D)rev o lu tion’s hap pen ing in (Gmaj9)New York.

New York.

In (F#m)New York!

“We (Bm7)hold these truths to be self ev i dent, that (D)all men are cre at ed e qual.”

Look a round, look a round, at how (F#m)luck y we are to be a live right now!

His to ry is hap pen in’ in Man (D)hat an and we just hap pen to be in the (Gmaj7)great est cit y in the world!

In the great est cit y in the world!

(Bm7)Work, work!

An gel i ca!

(D)Work, work!

E li za!

And (Bm7)Peg gy!

The Schuy ler sis ters!

We’re look in’ for a mind at (Bm7)work, work!

Work, work!

(D)Work, work!

Work, work!

In the (Gmaj7)great est cit y, in the great est cit y in the (Bm7)world!

The (G)great est cit y in the (D)world!
