And we work - aha - for the good things that we can have,
Yea we work - aha - for the family       and    home,
Yea we work - aha - for the D-Mark       and the dollar,
Yea we work - aha - for the woman  on    the    phone,
Yea we work - aha - for that moment       of   elation,
Yea we work - aha - for a chance  to  get       away,
And we work - aha - just to let imagination,
