[Verse 1]
Well I'm work shy, I'm wild-eyed
So shut that door when the baby cries
And keep me well fed, give me warm bread
Lay my body on a feather bed
And spoil me

[Refrain]
Angeline
Get to work when the whistle screams, Angeline

[Verse 2]
Maybe someday, someway
Somewhere in the future, there's more pay
Give me more cash, bring me sour mash
Peel me a grape and fetch my stash
And bite me

[Refrain]
Angeline
Let me use you like a sex machine, Angeline

[Chorus]
You've got to swing that hammer, punch that card
Angeline, I love you when you work so hard
Swing that hammer (that hammer) and sew my jeans
Angeline just loves it when I treat her mean
(Ooooo-ooooooo
Oooo)

[Post-Chorus]
Angeline
(Oooo)

[Verse 3]
Well I talk tough, I act rough
Lay still honey I can't get enough
And keep your nose clean, let me be
On your knees when you speak to me
And trust me

[Refrain]
Angeline
And talk real dirty, and I'll make you scream, Angeline

[Chorus]
You've got to swing that (that) hammer (hammer) and punch that card
Angeline, I love you when you work so hard
Swing that hammer (that hammer) and sew my jeans
Angeline just loves it when I treat her mean
(Ooooo-ooooooo
Oooo)

[Chorus]
You've got to swing that hammer, punch that card
Angeline, I love you when you work so hard
Swing that hammer (that hammer) and sew my jeans
Angeline just loves it when I treat her mean
(Ooooo-ooooooo
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oooo
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Outro]
Angeline just loves it when I treat her mean
(Ooooo-ooooooo)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Treat her mean)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
