The offered me the office
offered me the shop
They said I'd better take
anything they'd got
Do you wanna make tea

Do you wanna be

Career opportunities
are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is
to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity

the ones that never knock
I hate the army an'
I hate the Cambridge Police
I don't wanna go fighting in
the tropical heat
I hate the civil service rules
And I won't open letter bombs
for you
Career opportunities
are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity
the ones that never knock
Oi Oi Oi
Carney Givens
Arthur McGilvrey
Bobby Linchsky
They're gonna have to
introduce conscription
They're gonna have to take
away my prescription
If they wanna get me making toys
If they wanna get me, well
I got no choice
Career opportunities
are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you
is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity
the ones that never knock
Careers, Careers, Careers
Ain't never gonna knock
