Jill English: Music

It was my first day on the job

and I was feeling real nervous

When the boss man came to me and said

could you give these people service

Well I know I took their order right

and I sent it to the kitchen

When the boss man came to me

o’what a fit he was a’pitchin’

He said, you’ve got to be more careful

As he reached out for my curl

Sayin something bout my chicken scratch

And I’ll be watchin you now girl

As if that weren’t enough to make

me really wanna quit

He grabbed my hand and squeezed it

Said there’s some rules you need to get!

The first rule is an easy one

You will always call me sir

The second rule is not so bad

if you wanna work for me girl

You wear your makeup pretty

and press your cute little suits

and lastly but not leastly

I don’t want you wearing them boots

There will be No Knockin the Boots, Sir

I’m just not that kind of girl

There will be Knockin the Boots, Oh No

No Knockin the Boots, for sure!

Well I’ve been working now for seven years

Without ever compromising

Cuz I’m a single mama

With no prince on the horizon

But who does that boss man think he is~

Call him Sir and press my suits

And I’ll be damned if that ol fatman

is gonna get me outta my boots

There will be No Knockin the Boots, Sir

I’m just not that kind of girl

There will be Knockin the Boots, Oh No

No Knockin the Boots, for sure!

(bridge)

You know I was ready to get fired when I walked right up to that fatman and said…

Sir, you’ve got to be more careful

About the rules you throw around

Some girls might take your orders

and some might take you down

Now I’m not afraid to work here

I’ll call you sir & press my suits

and lastly but not leastly

There will be No Knockin’ the Boots

There will be No Knockin the Boots, Sir

I’m just not that kind of girl

There will be Knockin the Boots, Oh No

No Knockin the Boots, for sure!
