Lyrics: Ahounou Gbènoukpo Finagnon Noël
Music: Ahounou Gbènoukpo Finagnon Noël
I HAVE A GOOD JOB
Lead 1:
And when I think
I was so young
I have no money
I could feel the day my dream would come true
Daddy wanted
Me in school
To be successful
“And when you’ll be a business man, then you’ll be grateful”
Refrain: (Bis)
Mama mother
And my father singing
My my sister
And my brother
Sing my songs
Lead 2:
Daddy had
This here guitar
He played on somedays
But on the sly I spent my time playing my heart out
And when the time
Had come for me
To make my own way
Me and my axe, we saw the world day by day
Refrain: (Bis)
Lead 3:
So many years
Have gone by
So far from you
Mama won’t you please accept me for I’ve done
Now when they sing
It takes me back
To times gone by when daddy thought I’d never get far
Refrain:
