[Verse 2] She sits on her ass, he works his hands to the bone To give her money every payday But she wants more dinero just to stay at home Well, my friend, you gotta say [Chorus] "I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way Na-na, why don't you get a job?" Say, "No way," say, "No way-ya, no way Na-na, why don't you get a job?" [Verse 3] I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough To keep her bill collectors at bay I guess all his money, well, it isn't enough ’Cause that girl's got expensive taste [Chorus] "I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way Na-na, why don't you get a job?" Say, "No way," say, "No way-ya, no way Na-na, why don't you get a job?" [Bridge] Well, I guess it ain't easy doing nothing at all, oh yeah But hey man, free rides just don't come along every day (Let me tell you 'bout my other friend now) [Verse 4] My friend's got a boyfriend, man, she hates that dick (And the guy) She tells me every day (Woo! Every day now) He wants more dinero just to stay at home (Stay at home!) Well, my friend, you gotta say (Gotta say!) [Chorus] "I won't pay, I won't pay ya, no way Na-na, why don't you get a job?" (Get a job!) Say, "No way," say, "No way-ya, no way Na-na, why don't you get a job?" (Oh yeah!) "I won't give you no money, I always pay Na-na, why don't you get a job?" (Get a job!) Say, "No way," say, "No way-ya, no way Na-na, why don't you get a job?" [Outro] Hey, that's something everyone can enjoy
