The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do)" by the artist "Wham!"

Contents

Wham Rap! (Enjoy What You Do) is an anthem of youth, freedom, and the pursuit of joy in life, regardless of social status.

The song tells the story of a guy who doesn't chase traditional values like a stable job. He prefers to enjoy life, spend time with friends, and have fun. The lyrics challenge accepted norms, claiming that happiness is not dependent on work.

The protagonist of the song is not a slacker, he simply chooses a different path, a path of self-expression and finding his own place in the world. He encourages listeners not to cling to unloved work but to look for something that brings them pleasure.

The main themes of the song:

The right to choose: Everyone decides for themselves how to live and what to consider important.

The value of individuality: You don't have to follow stereotypes, it's important to be yourself.

Finding joy in everyday life: Happiness does not depend on material well-being, it can be found in simple things.

Wham, bam!

I am a man

Job or no job

You can't tell me that I'm not

Do you

Enjoy what you do?

If not, just stop

Don't stay there and rot

You got soul

I said get, get, get on down

Said get, get, get on down

Hey everybody take a look at me

I've got street credibility

I may not have a job

But I have a good time

With the boys that I meet "down on the line"

I said I don't need you

So you don't approve

Well who asked you to?

Hey!

Hey jerk, you work

This boy's got better things to do

Hell

I ain't never gonna work, get down in the dirt

I choose to cruise

Gonna live my life, sharp as a knife

I've found my groove and I just can't lose

A1 style from head to toe

Cool cat flash gonna let you know

I'm a soul boy I'm a dole boy

Take pleasure in leisure

I believe in joy!

Wham, bam!

I am a man

Job or no job

You can't tell me that I'm not

Do you

Enjoy what you do?

If not, just stop

Don't stay there and rot

Party nights and neon lights

We hit the floors, we hit the heights

Dancing shoes and pretty girls

Boys in leather kiss girls in pearls

Hot-damn! Everybody, let's play!

So they promised you a good job —

No way!

One, two, three, rap!

C'mon everybody, Don't need this crap!

Wham, bam!

I am a man

Job or no job

You can't tell me that I'm not

Do you

Enjoy what you do?

If not, just stop

Don't stay there and rot

If you're a pub man

Or a club man

Maybe a jet black guy with a hip hi-fi

A white cool cat with a trilby hat

Maybe leather and studs is where you're at

Make the most of every day

Don't let hard times stand in your way

Give a wham, give a bam but don't give a damn

'Cause the benefit gang are gonna pay!

Now reach up high and touch your soul

The boys from Wham! will help you reach that goal

It's gonna break your mama's heart, (so sad)

It's gonna break your daddy's heart, (too bad)

But you'll throw the dice and take my advice

Because I know that you're smart

Can you dig this thing? — Yeah!

Are you gonna get down? — Yeah!

Say Wham! — Wham!

Say Bam! — Bam!

[3x:]

Wham, bam!

I am a man

Job or no job

You can't tell me that I'm not

Do you

Enjoy what you do?

If not, just stop

Don't stay there and rot

Do you want to work? — No

Are you gonna have fun? — Yeah

Do you want to be a jerk? — No

Are you gonna stay young? — Yeah

Everybody say Wham! — Wham!

Say Bam! — Bam!

Everybody say Wham! — Wham!

Say Wham, Bam! — Wham! Bam!

Can you dig this thing?

Are you gonna get down?

Said one, two, three, rap, c'mon everybody

Don't need this crap!

Enjoy what you do [8x]

Everybody say Wham! — Wham!

Say Bam! — Bam!

Everybody say Wham! — Wham!

Say Wham, Bam! — Wham! Bam!

Enjoy what you do [12x]
