Outsourced Blues Lyrics:
Intro: Doh doh, doh doh, doh doh, doh doh, doh those darn the out-sourced blues, those blues.
Verse 1: I've just been laid off. Laid off. Giv-en my pink slip. Pink slip. My job has gone, gone off to Chi-na, yes, I've been out-sourced (out-sourced). Wish I could tell you, if I could tell you, the job end-ed well, so well. But if it had I wouldn't be here now sing-ing to you, to you. But don't get me wrong, no, no. I'd ra-ther be sing-ing this song, than than giv-ing my life to the job, to the job.
Interlude: Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo doo, doo Out-sourced blues.
Verse 2: No more be-ne-fits, no more take home pay, but I real-ly don't mind since I'm free all day. No more boss-es hoo-ray, no more meet-ings too. I don't work there an-y more, I've paid my dues. So now I can chose, with not a thing to lose. Good-bye to the out-sourced blues. {change of key here}
Bridge: The job was-n't all bad, it paid for food and rent. But boss-es were a de-fin-ite pain, they were not hea-ven sent. And what do you think they gave me, for the twen-ty years I put in? (twen-ty years)  A T-shirt with the com-pa-ny name, and that's why I'm sing-in' Yes that's why I'm sing-in'
Verse 3: No more be-ne-fits, no more take home pay (take home pay), but I real-ly don't mind since I'm free all day. No more boss-es hoo-ray, yes, hooray, no more meet-ings too, bor-ing you. {counter-melodies here to Tag} I don't work there an-y more, I've paid my dues. So now I can chose, with not a thing to lose.
Tag: Good-bye to the out-sourced, out-sourced blues. Those blues!
