Fathers always tell you
If a job’s worth doing
It’s worth doing well
You never rush a good job

So what’s happening anyway
When i buy something
I want it to last
I really want it to last

So will the work you do today
Stand the test of time
Will the work you do today
Stand the test of time

Did our fathers tell us what was right
Their backs were broken in the fight
Do we forget their lives
The competition’s getting tough
Do we accept the fact
That close enough
Is really good enough

So will the work you do today
Stand the test of time
Will the work you do today
Stand the test of time

Fathers always tell you
If a job’s worth doing
It’s worth doing well
You never rush a good job

So what’s happening anyway
When i buy something
I want it to last
I really want it to last

So will the work you do today
Stand the test of time
Will the work you do today
Stand the test of time
