They offered me the office, offered me the shop
They said I'd better take anything they got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?
Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?
Chorus:
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
Every job they offer is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
I hate the army and I hate the R.A.F.
I don't wanna go a-fighting in the tropical heat
I hate the Civil Service rules
And I won't open letter bombs for you
Chorus:
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
Every job they offer is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
Bus driver... Ambulance man... Ticket inspector...
I won't understand
They're gonna have to introduce conscription
They're gonna have to take away my perscription
If they wanna get me makin' toys
If they wanna get me, well, I got no choice
Chorus:
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
Every job they offer is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunities, the ones that never knock
Career
Career
Career An' I never wanna knock
