CHORUS I wonder who it was invented work, yes work. It must have been a Hindoo or a Turk, some Turk— There's no one on this country's map Who thinks of anything like that. Why worry? Not a coin will leave this earth Enjoy this life, be happy, smile and never shirk Some folks work while dancing, others work hard banking I wonder, I wonder who it was invented work? Work caused a lot of trouble over our united land Through Europe and all Asia Look at all the people working on account of this new plan Through Europe and all Asia. It might have been George Fuller, Mr Bruce or Mr Page In this land of Australia? The keeper of Taronga Park may have him in a cage German Jews or Billy Hughes?
