Ajebutter! Go out and work all day
Ajebutter! It’s the working man’s way
Ajebutter! In the concrete jungle
Ajebutter! Africa’s Hollywood struggle
Ajebutter! There’s no holiday
Ajebutter! No time to laugh and play
Ajebutter! Caught up here all day
Ajebutter!

Get up every morning
Hostel I must clean
Go up in the evening
Wash the sheets on thirteen

In the daily grind and push
You have no power here
In the daily grind and push
You have no power here
In the daily grind and push
You have no power here, la la la la

Got no money so far
Boss he sleeps all day, all night
Guests don’t clean up nothing, no way
Why’s my money delayed?
I have to clean the toilet
I have to mop the floor
I have to fix the table
I have to serve the food
Sweep the floor
Make the coffee
Take the money
I take my food
I eat my lunch
Fix the sink
Clean the desk
I eat my dinner
I work for free
Work for nothing
They laugh at me
They laugh at me!
They say I’m slow
They say I’m lazy
They say I’m spoiled
They say I’m

Ajebutter! Money’s all gone
Ajebutter! It’s the working man’s way
Ajebutter! In the concrete jungle
Ajebutter! Africa’s Hollywood struggle
Ajebutter! There’s no holiday
Ajebutter! No time to laugh and play
Ajebutter! Caught up here all day
Ajebutter!

Ugh, sweating and working and working all day
Postman should have been here by now
It’s been weeks, and I still haven’t gotten my card
Thought I’d be on a sunny beach by now
Just waiting and waiting, no money, just waiting

Ajebutter!
Ajebutter! It’s the working man’s way
Ajebutter! In the concrete jungle
Ajebutter! Africa’s Hollywood struggle
Ajebutter! There’s no holiday
Ajebutter! No time to laugh and play
Ajebutter! Caught up here all day
Ajebutter! Ahh!
