Work Medley

This medley opens by featuring a tenor soloist on the soul classic “Work To Do” by the Isley Brothers, before kicking things up a notch with the 80’s hit “Workin’ For A Living’” by Huey Lewis and the News. Fun interplay between the treble/bass sections keeps the energy level high throughout the entire chart.

Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/2 Tbn/Alto, Tenor & Bari Sax

I'm taking care of business, son, can't you see
I've gotta make it for you and I gotta make it for me
Don't wanna make you feel like I'm neglecting you
Love to spend more time, oh, but I got so many things to do

Oh, I, I got work to do
I gotta work now
I got work to do, I got a job now
Said, I got work to do

Some days won't end ever and some days pass on by
I'll be working here forever, at least until I die
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won't

Workin' for a livin'
Workin' for a livin'
Workin' for a livin'
Livin' and a workin'
I'm taking what they're giving 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'!

Whoa whoa, workin' for a livin'
Whoa whoa, takin' what they givin'
Whoa whoa, workin' for a livin'
Whoa

Workin' for a livin'
I got work to do
Workin' for a livin'
I got a job to do
Workin' for a livin'
Livin' and a workin'
I'm taking what they're giving 'cause I'm workin' for a livin'!
