<br>

[1st verse:]<br>

Johnny Jones was a first class private<br>

In the army last year<br>

Now he's back to bus'ness in his father's place<br>

Sunday night I saw him with a smiling face<br>

When I asked why he felt so happy<br>

Johnny chuckled with glee<br>

He winked his eye and made this reply:<br>

"Something wonderful has happened to me"<br>

<br>

[chorus:]<br>

I've got the guy who used to be my Captain working for me<br>

He wanted work so I made him a clerk in my father's factory<br>

And bye and bye I'm gonna have him wrapped in work up to his brow<br>

I make him open the office ev'ry morning at eight<br>

I come around about four hours late<br>

Ev'rything comes to those who wait<br>

I've got my Captain working for me now<br>

<br>

[2nd verse:]<br>

He's not worth what I have to pay him<br>

But I'll never complain I've agreed to give him fifty dollars per<br>

It's worth twice as much to hear him call me "Sir"<br>

While I sit in my cosy office<br>

He's outside working hard<br>

Out in the hall at my beck and call<br>

With a feather duster standing on guard<br>

<br>

[2nd chorus:]<br>

I've got the guy who used to be my Captain working for me<br>

He wanted work so I made him a clerk in my father's factory<br>

And bye and bye I'm gonna have him wrapped in work up to his brow<br>

When I come into the office he gets up on his feet<br>

Stands at attention and gives me his seat<br>

Who was it said "revenge is sweet"<br>

<br>
