"Here comes a Job" - A song parody for the times

Not Hasidic
I know there are some of you out there who hate when I write song parodies.  So if you're one of these people, this is probably the day you want to avert your gaze or read some other, less interesting, blog.  But for those of you who enjoy them as much as I do, I have a special treat for you today.

While it's a meaningless fact, I share the same birthday as the late George Harrison (also Carrot Top and Jim Backus, but that's less relevant).  So inspired by his musical deftness, I've written another song for you to enjoy.  It's called "Here comes a Job" to the tune of "Here comes the Sun."

All you need to do now is click on the play button for musical accompaniment and sing along.





HERE COMES A JOB
Lyrics by Temp X
Music by George Harrison

Here comes a job
Here comes a job, and I say
Just kidding

Unemployment, my benefits are running out
Unemployment, my rent is eight, no, nine days past due
Here comes a job
Here comes a job, and I say
Just kidding

Unemployment, the jobless rate is 10 percent
Unemployment, it seems like years since I've had work
Here comes a job
Here comes a job, and I say
Just kidding

Job, job, job, hire me
Job, job, job, food ain't free
Job, job, job, woe is me
Job, job, job, EDD
Job, job, job, hire me

Unemployment, will an Obama second term help?
Unemployment, it's almost noon I'm still in bed
Here comes a job
Here comes a job, and I say
Just kidding

Here comes a job
Here comes a job
Just kidding
It's not right
