Lyrics:

She works hard for the money

So hard for it, honey

She works hard for the money

So you better treat her right



She works hard for the money

So hard for it, honey

She works hard for the money

So you better treat her right



I met her there in the corner stand

And wonders where she is

And it's strange to her

Some people seem to have everything

9 am on the hour hand

And she's waiting for the bell

And she's looking real pretty

She's waiting for her clientele



She works hard for the money

So hard for it, honey

She works hard for the money

So you better treat her right



She works hard for the money

So hard for it, honey

She works hard for the money

So you better treat her right



Twenty-eight years have come and gone

And she's seen a lot of tears

Of the ones who come in

They really seem to need her there

It's a sacrifice working day to day

For little money just tips for pay

But it's worth it all

To hear them say that they care



She works hard for the money

So hard for it, honey

She works hard for the money

So you better treat her right



Already knows, she's seen her bad times

Already knows, these are the good times

She'll never sell out, she never will

Not for a dollar bill

She works haaaaard



[Instrumental Interlude]



She works hard for the money

So hard for it, honey

She works hard for the money

So you better treat her right



She works hard for the money

So hard for it, honey

She works hard for the money

So you better treat her right

Alright...
