I know that this'll sound a little nuts
Not a common opinion but
Spare me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, from the promise of an open door
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'd prefer to stay here at this floor
I know my words are all cryptic, ayy
Makin' sure that some people don't pitch a fit, no
Spare me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, from the mad go-getters that I know
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, what they want, I'd hate to have it

Promotion (whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-yeah)
Current state, current state, current state is fine, buddy
No promotion (whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-ooh-yeah)
Rather stay, rather stay, rather stay here, I'll stay here
No promotion, yeah (ee-yuh)

Why would I want my pay down? Nobody said (yeah)
A raise is guaranteed legit
Spare me, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I don't have the skills for higher jobs
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, can get better at this one, it's true (whoo!)
So I don't think I'm ready (ready) for way more work in the same time now, I reckon (at least I reckon)
That's what I reckon (what I reckon) so I won't ask for that now, just keep it steady
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, (ooh-ooh-oh, buddy), higher expectations blow
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (yeah), I don't think that I could hack it

Promotion (no, no, no) (whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-yeah)
That's my take, that's my take, that's my take, I'm fine, buddy
No promotion (whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-ooh-yeah)
Want no pain, want no pain, want no pain so I'll stay here
No promotion, yeah

Uh, ee-yuh
Oh-oh-oh, stop it with the threat to let my bosses know
Oh, they know I don't want that blasted promotion

Promotion (oh-oh, let it go) (whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-yeah)
What I make, what I make, what I make is fine, buddy
No promotion (whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-ooh-yeah)
Rather stay, rather stay, rather stay here, I'll stay here (promotion)
Promotion (ho-oh-oh-oh, yeah) (whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-yeah)
No complaints, no complaints, no complaints, I'm fine, buddy
No promotion (whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-whoa-ooh-ooh-yeah)
Want no pain, want no pain, want no pain so I'll stay here
