- I took this job when I left school and I thought it might be fun,
I signed the papers binding me 'til I was twenty-one.
But I just can't wait to collect my cards, I just can't wait to go,
I can't get along with the people here and the work it bores me so.
- So I learned the trade for what it's worth and the time has gone so slow,
But soon my birthday's coming up and I'll be free to go.
But I just can't wait to collect my cards, I just can't wait to go,
I can't get along with the people here and the work it bores me so.
- Well, I think I'll wait 'til the wedding's over before I say goodbye,
For the girlfriend tells me that we must save if a house we hope to buy.
But I just can't wait to collect my cards, I just can't wait to go,
I can't get along with the people here and the work it bores me so.
- Now I'll have to wait 'til the baby's born before I can be free,
For I understand a pregnant wife must have security.
But I just can't wait to collect my cards, I just can't wait to go,
I can't get along with the people here and the work it bores me so.
- Well, I think I'll wait 'til the kids leave school before I break away,
For growing kids eat money and I need the steady pay.
But I just can't wait to collect my cards, I just can't wait to go,
I can't get along with the people here and the work it bores me so.
- Now I think I'll wait 'til the house is mine before I break the tie,
For the interest rates keep rising and the car it bleeds me dry.
But I just can't wait to collect my cards, I just can't wait to go,
I can't get along with the people here and the work it bores me so.
- Well I think I'll wait 'til retiring age before I risk a break,
'Cos the pension scheme insures the wife and it's mainly for her sake.
But I just can't wait to collect my cards, I just can't wait to go,
I can't get along with the people here and the work it bores me so.
- Well, thank you for the gold watch, Sir, the silver collection too,
But are you sure I have to go for I won't know what to do.
And I just can't bear to collect my cards, I just can't bear to go.
For I shall miss the people here and my life it bores me so.
