Nobody's Doing The Job Lyrics - The Roches

Nobody's doing the job they want to be doing 

Don't you see that's the whole problem? 

 

The waiter wants to be an actor 

And the dentist wants to be a violinist 

The lawyer wants to be just about anything but a lawyer 

But still make a fortune and live off the interest 

The baby wants to be a big girl 

And the teacher wants to be a performer 

The dancer used to be the thing she always wanted to be 

But now she's the maitre d' 

The businessman wants to be a musician 

And the housewife wants to be a magician 

The doctor doesn't want to be a physician 

But the restaurateur now he's found a cure 

For the nine to five blues 

But the messenger he doesn't want to bring the news 

The bus driver wants to win the lottery 

And the thief has to be what he's gotta be 

And nobody wants to be a bum 

The piano player wants to beat the drum 

Mostly everybody thinks they'd like to be a star 

Except celebrities in magazines you read 

That say how difficult it is to be the thing they are 

And that something else is really what they need.
