[Verso 1]
Seven years of hard luck, coming down on me
From the Florida border, yea up to Nashville Tennessee
I worked in every joint you can name, mister every honkytonk
Along come Mr Yankee Slicker, saying maybe you're what I want
[Coro]
Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin' For MCA
[Verso 2]
9000 dollars, that's all we could win
But we smiled at the Yankee Slicker with a big ol' Southern grin
They're gonna take me out to California gonna make me a superstar
Just pay me all of my money and mister maybe you won't get a scar
[Coro]
Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin' For MCA
[Verso 3]
Suckers took my money since I was seventeen
If it ain't no pencil pusher, it got to be a honkytonk queen
But I'll sign my contract baby, and I wan't you people to know
That every penny that I make, I'm gonna see where my money goes
[Coro]
Want you to sign your contract
Want you to sign today
Gonna give you lots of money
Workin' For MCA
