• Work From Home Tunes
Posted by Tom Harnish on April 5th, 2008
Whether you freelance, work from home, or run a home based business–or want to–these songs will mean something to you. They were hits at ITAC’s 1999 Seattle conference by The Remote Rascals (Joe Licari, Dee Christensen, Bob Fortier and Eddie Cain).
PROUD TO BE TELEWORKIN’
(to the tune of CCR’s Proud Mary)
Left a good job in the city
Rushin back n’ forth ev’ry nite’n day
You don’t have to worry, you can still make money
Companies are learning there’s a better way
Big world a-keep on turnin’, proud to be teleworkin’
Tele, workin’, now I love my job more
The big boss had to see our faces
Sitting at our desks ev’ry single day
Then for business reasons, no longer was it treason
Higher productivity and some R-O-I
Big world a-keep on turnin’, proud to be teleworkin’
Tele, workin’, got the best employer
Lead Break:
Tele, workin’, now I love my job more
Tele, workin’, got the best employer
If your company wants to see some changes
Recruit’n more employees and keep what you got
No it ain’t no fallacy, go out and set a policy
Its time to make it happen so now give it a shot
Big world a-keep on turnin’, proud to be teleworkin’
Tele, workin’, now I love my job more
Tele, workin’, now I love my job more
Tele, workin’, got the best employer
WORKIN’ GIRL BLUES
(Bluegrass style)
I got the early Monday mornin’ workin’ blues
Put on my business clothes and expensive business shoes.
I could do this job from home, but I can’t choose.
When the Lord made the workin’ girl, he made the blues.
Well, I’m tired of drivin’ back and forth to work each day.
When I’m finally home my energy’s slipped away
I can’t get work done at the office cause it’s a zoo.
And that’s why I’ve got these workin’ girl blues.
A-da-lel-de-la-de-la, telework would work great for me
I could juggle work and home – and save my sanity.
And I’d get more work done at home, so my boss won’t loose.
And I’d get rid of a little bit of these workin’ girl blues.
Well I came to this conference to learn a thing or two
And I joined as a lifetime ITAC member too.
I’ll find a new job where the boss won’t refuse
To let me work at home & end these workin’ girl blues.
