Verse 1
too honest, too steel
A
Employers please listen to
D
A
D
my appeal
G
Night and day I'm walking the streets
A
D
Nothing to eat and nowhere to sleep
So kind -hearted employers,
A
D
A
D

give me something to do.
A
D
I'm not asking for social equality,
A
D
to rank with the rich in their company,
to drive around New York in their motorcars,
or to go to their penthouses
A
D
and smoke their cigars.
G
All I want is a job with a decent wage
A
D
To exist now and provide for all age
So kind hearted employers,
G
Em
my case is up to you

D
Give me something to do
From the day when I began to sing
A
My mother told me I'll be a king
D
She spoke to me confidentially,
A
saying the older you get,
G
And when you sing all the minor psalms,
A
D
it will cause trials and a sensation
So kind -hearted employers,
A
D
A

D
The reason why I'm appealing to you,
Em
I've got a wife, four children,
D
They reside in the West Indies
A
and are depending on me
D
financially
G
Friends, many days I feel I can die,
A
I feel like committing suicide
D
So, kind -hearted employers,
A
D
A
D

give me something to do.
A
D
I'm not the crooner, Rudy Fally,
A
D
or the songbird, Mr. Bing Crosby.
People, I want you to understand,
A
I am not Guy Lombardo to call White Man.
D
This is plain Papa Houdini,
G
A
D
the Calypso King of the West Indy
And every man was born to be free
G
A
and to be happy from suppression
