It was in the evening paper under General Vacancy
G C
"Part time man required in a local factory"
G C Em/B
I put my Sunday suit on and I gave my old boots a brush
Am Cm
I got on my old two wheeler as I was in a rush
[Verse 2]
G C
"Wait over there in the queue, come here when I call your name."
G C
There's about ten or twenty part time men, they all look just the same
G C Em/B
"Alfred Webster?" - "Yes, that's me." - "Kindly come this way."
Am Cm Cm
With fingers crossed I follow him and I hope it's my lucky day
[Chorus]
G C D G C D
All I wanted to be was a part time man (That's all)
G C D G C D
All I wanted to be was a part time man MmmHmm
[Verse 3]
G C
With shaky hand I started to the best that I was able
G C
The man I'd come to see smiled across the table
G C Em/B
I filled in all the questions, name, address and occupation
Am Cm
What I did in World War Three, and my present situation
[Chorus]
G C D G C D
All I wanted to be was a part time man (That's all, that's all)
G C D G C D
All I wanted to be was a part time man MmmHmmm
G C
G C
Mmm Mmm Mmm
[Verse 4]
G C
I went back to the waiting room and they asked me what he said
G C
Before I'd time to answer a woman came out and shook her head
G C Em/B
Returned from where I came from to my old and faithful cat
Am Cm Cm
I turned off the light in my eyes and that's the end of that Oh yeah!
[Outro-Fade]
