The Lyrics
What kind of skills have you
in this work line?
Your résumé lists jobs, a slew,
such as flyin’
planes—are you lyin’?
Also were a gambler
in Las Vegas town.
Must have been a rambler,
as it seems that you’ve worked all around.
And so your skills aren’t few,
I think we’ll find.
Worked in zoo,
worked with crew,
worked with stew,
worked with roux
and milked cows.
You’ve done your share
of jobs, we can see,
but we ask now,
curiously,
what kind of skills you’ll use
in slopping swine.
