All Day Long

He was a work machine, and I was just nineteen

It was the coldest winter that I’d ever seen

We wore our suits and ties, our lessons, memorized 

Knocking on doors two young American guys

We really wanted to share, but our chances were rare

I dreamed about having something warmer to wear

Yes my knees were shaking, my back was breaking

my feet were aching, but we were on a mission, we

tracted all day long

Yeah we, 

tracted all day long

Working double time to learn to say my line

And after six long months, well, I could speak just fine

When the Winter passed, and Summer came at last

the heat and humidity were climbing too fast

Had to cool it down when lunchtime rolled around

then it’s back on the street to take another beat

Yes our knees were shaking, our backs were breaking

our feet were aching, but we were on a mission, we

tracted all day long

Yeah we, 

tracted all day long

It wore me out, I said we, 

tracted all day long

We got rejected but we, 

tracted all day long

Finally success

someone said, “yes”

We got up early and we, 

tracted all day long

Oh, we, 

tracted all day long

Yeah, yeah, we, 

tracted all day long

Six out of seven days we, 

tracted all day long

then on P-day

we did laun-dray

all day long!
