If You Don't Like Your Job Quit! 1905

Jube Jones got aw'fly mad one day,
went looking for work,
meals they came too far apart,
when toiling he'd shirk,
He got a job on Monday morn
so glad he was hired,
But at noon he said:
"Lawd I'm tired!"
Just then the boss said:
"Look here, son,
now you see that coat?
Get to work and drop it
right down into that hole."
Jube he started fussin'
and a cussin' right away,
But he almost fell right dead
when the boss did say:

If you don't like your job
well, you'd better quit!
With me you don't make
such an awful hit,
A dime's a dime
most every day!
And I ain't got a thing
that I give away
So listen, coon,
what I say
If you don't like your job.
Quit!

If you don't like your job
well, you'd better quit!
With me you don't make
such an awful hit,
I just don't like no real black man
with a wheel in his head
like a 'lectric fan,
So look here, coon, understand
If you don't like your job. Quit!

At night Jube said:
"I cert'nly am a feelin' so bad,
I've had tough luck
but this is sure
the worst that I've had."
Away he went to see his gal,
he'd tell her his tale,
but right there a black man turned pale,
'cause there he found his gal
a making love for dear life.
Sayin' sweet thing to a coon
like she was his wife.
Jube he started swellin' up,
got bad as he could be,
When his gal said: "Man you rave,
listen now to me."

If you don't like your job
well, you'd better quit!
With me you don't make
such an awful hit,
A dime's a dime
most every day!
And I ain't got a thing
that I give away
So listen, coon,
what I say
If you don't like your job.
Quit!

If you don't like your job
well, you'd better quit!
With me you don't make
such an awful hit,
I just don't like no real black man
with a wheel in his head
like a 'lectric fan,
So look here, coon, understand
If you don't like your job. Quit!
