Mac Dre - "Not My Job" | 1930's Blues Version

🎩🎙️ Mac Dre – “Not My Job” | 1930’s Blues Version
Recorded live at The Blue Goose Barrelhouse, Vallejo – April 1935

The piano’s slick, the gin’s cheap, and the crowd’s restless. Then Mac Dre strolls out like the room’s already paid for — hat low, grin loud, pockets light but confidence heavy.

His latest number, “Not My Job (1930’s Blues Version),” is the laziest protest song ever written — a smooth-talking anthem for every man who ever refused honest work with a wink and a one-liner.

The band kicks off with a sly shuffle — upright bass walking lazy, horns teasing the melody like it’s flirting back. Dre taps his mic once and sighs into it:

“Boss man said, ‘Pick up that broom.’
I said, ‘Playboy, sweepin’ ain’t my tune.’”

The crowd howls. Someone in the back yells, “Tell ’ em, Dre!”

He keeps on, half-singing, half-laughing through the verses, turning excuses into poetry. The trumpet hits a sarcastic solo that sounds like a shrug, and the pianist nearly falls off the bench laughing.

By the second chorus, the whole juke joint’s chanting along:

“It ain’t my job, baby — I just look good doin’ nothin’!”

The Bay City Ledger called it “a working-man’s refusal set to twelve bars of pure genius.”
Another critic wrote, “Mac Dre turned unemployment into an art form — and made the boss tip his hat anyway.”

When the band fades out, Dre flicks the ash off his cigarette, winks at the bartender, and mutters,

“I clocked in for style, not labor.”
