Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Part Time Man Lyrics
It was in the evening paper under General Vacancy
"Part time man required in a local factory"
I put my Sunday suit on and I gave my old boots a brush
I got on my old two wheeler as I was in a rush
There's about ten or twenty part time men, they all look just the same
"Alfred Webster?" – "Yes, that's me." – "Kindly come this way."
With fingers crossed I follow him and I hope it's my lucky day
All I wanted to be was a part time man
(That's all)
All I wanted to be was a part time man
With shaky hand I started to the best that I was able
The man I had come to see smiled across the table
What I did in World War Three, and my present situation
All I wanted to be was a part time man
(That's all, that's all)
All I wanted to be was a part time man
I went back to the waiting room and they asked me what he said
Before I had time to answer a woman came out and shook her head
Returned from where I came from to my old and faithful cat
I turned off the light in my eyes and that's the end, that
Oh yeah
All I wanted to be was a part time man
All I wanted to be was a part time man
All I wanted to be was a part time man
(All I wanted to be was a part time man)
All I wanted to be was a part time man
(That's all, that's all, that's all)

My brother wrote this,David sadler
Unreal, I heard this song 40+ years ago, just like yesterday, thanks.
Voici une chanson qui est potentiellement une ode à la décroissance... ou le captain cap vers le far niente
Une chansonnette à pattes de velours pour certains
It's this album - self-titled, 1972. Classic.
Mrs. Henry was a song on Basement Tapes by Bob Dylan and the Band, Mr.Mann certainly covers alot of Bob, but I've never seen the version you referred to.
