Money money money
Work work work
Heeeeeeey are you ok?
Tell em you're not ok
Tell em you're taking off work today
Are you ok?
Ali are you ok?
Tell em you're not gonna be working late
It's been ages
Since you spent a day just
Don't ignore your doctor's orders
Now come here
Show me how you're loving me
All work and no play
I think we need a holiday
All work and no play
Tell em it's your birthday
All your best days are given to your boss way
Tell em you're working on us today
Do you wanna be running after money
Or be home hanging with your honey
Now come here, show me how you're loving me
All work and no play
I think we need a holiday
All work and no play
Tell em it's your birthday
Ali I haven't even seen you since we left Calais
You've been so busy
It's driving me crazy
You know I gotta be grinding
Sorry if I'm flaking
All this money that I be taking
I'm just shaking what Im making
I'm sending bread and bacon
Back home so they can
Fix what's broken
So baby don't be hating
If you need vacation
Please be patient
I'm thinking generation
Coz it's my obligation
All work and no play
I think we need a holiday
