[Frank Zappa - I'm On Duty lyrics]
'An I just look back at 'em and I say
"I AM ON DUTY"
On duty on duty
On duty i'm on duty
I'm on duty i'm on duty
I'm duty, duty, duty, duty, oh, duty!
(Good God) duty!
Duty! (Duty!
Duty) i'm on duty!
(Duty) i'm on Duty!
(Duty) duty, duty, duty, etc
And whenever I say that to 'em
When I'm going through customs, they
Always look back at me and
They say, "Come on, Frank
Tell us the truth what are you really
ON? I mean, you can't possibly expect us
With our uniforms and our submachine guns
To think that you're just, I mean, what are
You ON?" An' I just say, "I'm on duty!"
I'm on duty! I'm on duty!
I'm on duty!
Y'know, there was a time when I wasn't really
On duty there was a time when, well
Let's just say there wasn't any need for
My services, because, well
Y'know, sometimes a guy gets
Unemployed but today
I've found work i've found happiness
Because I'm one of
The few Americans who actually
Is on duty y'know
What I mean? Hey, now look! So, well
Let's just go right into that
Song then, and keep doing it
Until their film runs out, what
The hey we're on duty, aren't
We? OK, because later
You can all have a pizza!
"I AM ON DUTY"
On duty on duty
On duty i'm on duty
I'm on duty i'm on duty
I'm duty, duty, duty, duty, oh, duty!
(Good God) duty!
Duty! (Duty!
Duty) i'm on duty!
(Duty) i'm on Duty!
(Duty) duty, duty, duty, etc
And whenever I say that to 'em
When I'm going through customs, they
Always look back at me and
They say, "Come on, Frank
Tell us the truth what are you really
ON? I mean, you can't possibly expect us
With our uniforms and our submachine guns
To think that you're just, I mean, what are
You ON?" An' I just say, "I'm on duty!"
I'm on duty! I'm on duty!
I'm on duty!
Y'know, there was a time when I wasn't really
On duty there was a time when, well
Let's just say there wasn't any need for
My services, because, well
Y'know, sometimes a guy gets
Unemployed but today
I've found work i've found happiness
Because I'm one of
The few Americans who actually
Is on duty y'know
What I mean? Hey, now look! So, well
Let's just go right into that
Song then, and keep doing it
Until their film runs out, what
The hey we're on duty, aren't

You can all have a pizza!
