Here's a little song right now ladies and gentlemen that's designed to make you feel that feeling
Designed to make you feel good
I hear something saying

hooh! aah! hooh! aah!
hooh! aah! Oh yeah,hooh! aah!

That's the sound of the men working on the chain,the ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they sayin'

hooh! aah! Yeah, hooh! aah!
hooh! aah! Oh I like that,hooh! aah!
Baby!

That's the sound of the men working on the chain,the ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

Let me tell you bout em huh

All day long they work so hard
Till the sun is goin' down
They're working on the highways and byways
And wearing, wearing a frown
You hear them moanin' their lives away
Then you hear somebody say that

That's the sound of the men working on the chain,the ga-a-ang
That's the sound of the men working on the chain gang

All day long they sayin'

I'm goin home one of these days
I'm goin home to see my women
Whom I love so dear
But meanwhile
I gotta work right here

That's the sound of the men working on the chain,the ga-a-ang
