They offered me the office, offered me the shop
They said I’d better take anything they got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?
Do you wanna be, do wanna be a cop?

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

I hate the army and I hate the RAF
I don’t wanna go fighting in the tropical heat
I hate the civil service rules
I won’t open letter bombs for you

Career opportunities, career opportunities
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock

Oit
Bus driver!
I’m your Ambulance Man!
I’m your ticket inspector
I don’t understand

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 not choice

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

Careers

Ain’t a-never gonna knock
