He's a go getter, go getter
  When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
  Now I've got a neighbor that lives down the road a ways
  His wife holds down a steady job, he don't turn his hand all day
  I know that most of you will know the kind I'm talkin' about
  The kind that rather than have to work, he'd rather do without
  
  But he's a go getter, a go getter
  When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
  
  There's a group of men in the court house yard any time that you go by
  Playin' checkers and tradin' odds and makin' jokes about their wives
  They wait all week for pay day and they hold the money's plenty
  And the wife that's worked those long hard hours never gets a penny
  
  But he's a go getter, a go getter
  When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
  Yes he's a go getter, a go getter
  When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
  He's a go getter, a go getter
  When his wife gets off from work, he'll go get her
