SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY (Summer/Omartian, 1983)

Chorus:
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

Onetta there in the corner stands
And she wonders where she is
And it's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything

9 A.M. on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
Just waiting for her clientele

Chorus

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

Chorus

(She) already knows she's seen her bad times
(She) already knows these are the good times
She'll never sell out
She never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works hard...

Chorus

SPANISH TRANSLATION:


ELLA TRABAJA DURO POR EL DINERO (Summer/Omartian, 1983)

Estribillo:
Ella trabaja duro por el dinero
Tan duro por él, cariño
Ella trabaja duro por el dinero
Así que mejor que la trates bien

Ella trabaja duro por el dinero
Tan duro por él, cariño
Ella trabaja duro por el dinero
Así que mejor que la trates bien

Onetta está ahí en la esquina
Y se pregunta dónde está
Y le resulta extraño
Que alguna gente parezca tenerlo todo

Las 9 de la mañana en el reloj de pulsera
Y ella está esperando la campana
Y está realmente guapa
Esperando a su clientela

Estribillo

Veintiocho años han llegado y se han ido
Y ha visto un montón de lágrimas
De los que entran
Ellos parecen necesitarla ahí

Es un sacrificio trabajar día tras día
Por poco dinero, sólo propinas como paga
Pero todo merece la pena
Al oírles decir que se preocupan

Estribillo

Ya sabe que ha visto sus malos tiempos
Ya sabe que éstos son los buenos tiempos
Nunca se venderá
Nunca lo hará
No por un billete de dólar
Ella trabaja duro...

Estribillo
