Sweatshop Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh hello
You can call me DJ not nice
I have big opportunity to tell you about children in Shanghai
You want job that so so fun you will never want to cry
′Cause if you do I remove your tongue
I will give you each $1 every week
You will make me nice clothes, phones, and Nikes
It's so fun, you′ll love it
So if you are a young, strong little kid

[Chorus]
Come work at my sweatshop
And you tell all your friends
I have also job for them
Come work at my sweatshop
If you're 4 or 5 year old
I put you on my payroll

[Verse 2]
We have good time
You no wanna go sleep at night
Bed time is boring
I let you work around the clock, ay!
No yawning, you not baby
You no need drink or food
Don't make me kill you
If you ask to make a number 2
Don′t speak, just stitch
So if you want to make someone else rich
[Chorus]
Come work at my sweatshop
And go tell your parents
You′re moving out of their tent
So you could work at my sweatshop
If you 8 or 9 year old
You might be a bit too old

[Verse 3]
I like me some young guys
Made in china on the label
It's most likely child labor
We pay each kid 10 cents per day
And we let them fight over a potato
If you work hard nobody dies
I like working 9 to 5 year olds
You cold? Call the bureau
Ring ring, hello"
Oh no it′s me the same guy
I look into the issue
Okay goodbye

[Chorus]
Sweatshop
And you tell all your friends
I have also job for them
Come work at my sweatshop
If you're 4 or 5 year old
I put you on my payroll
We′ll have a good time
[Outro]
Sweatshop
And there's only 1 eggroll
And it created the whole world
More on that next time
