Lyrics

(Bb5)How did we get from the top of the world to the bot tom of the heap?

(B5)I (Bb5)don’t re call you men tion in’ the boss is such a creep.

(Ab5)We (Bb5)still have the in gre di ents to make this sum mer sweet.

Well, I got rags in stead of rich es, and all these dirt y dish es.

Just wish I had

three wish es.

We’ve got to (Bbm)work, work, to (Db)work this out.

We’ll (Ab)make things right; the sun will shine.

If (Ab)we (Bbm)work, work, there’ll (Db)be no doubt.

We can (Ab)still save the sum mer

(CN.C.)if we (Absus)work this (Bb5)out.

I’d (Bbm)rath er face a sev en foot er (Gb)straight up in the post.

That sure beats hang in’ here and (Gb)burn in’ some one’s toast.

I need ed Ben ja mins, but (Gb)this ain’t worth the stress.

May be there’s a bet ter way to (Gb)fix this greas y mess.

We’re a cham pi on team, a (Absus2)well oiled ma chine, and we’ve (Ebsus2)faced tough er prob lems than this.

I (Gb)know it’s a grind, but I’m (Absus2)sure we can find a (Eb5)way to have fun while we (F7)get this job done.

We’ve got to (Bbm)work, work, to (Db)work this out.

We’ll (Ab)make things right; the sun will shine.

Got (Ab)to (Bbm)work, work, there’ll (Db)be no doubt.

If we (Ab)all come to geth er,

(CN.C.)we can (Absus)work this (Bb5)out.

Let’s work it.

(Bbm)Tell me what you want.

Tell me what you need.

A lit tle bit of sug ar, a lit tle bit of but ter.

It’s the per fect re ci pe.

(Pay day!) It ’ll taste so sweet.

(Pay day!) Good e nough to eat.

Gon na make some mo tion pic tures.

Hit the mall with all my sis ters.

Get tick ets to the Knicks and Six ers.

Kick it with the mu sic mix ers.

Buy a ride that suits my style.

Lounge a round the pool a while.

Make a date with my fav ’rite girl.

We’ve got it made.

Whoa, we’ve (Ab5)got (A5)to (Cm)work, work, to (Eb)work this out.

We’ll (Bb)make things right; the sun will shine.

If (Bb)we (Cm)work, work, there’ll (Eb)be no doubt.

We can (Bb)still save the sum mer

if we (Bbsus)work this (Cm)out.

Work this, got ta work this.

We can work this out.
