SHE WORKS HARD FOR THE MONEY - DONNA SUMMER

'She Works Hard For The Money' - Donna Summer Written by Summer, the song worked it's way to become a Billboard top hit and anthem for her. The sleeve of the CD showed Summer as a waitress along with Onetta, the song's inspiration featured in this clip as well as the lyrics. The song was a tribute to and became an anthem for 'working women' everywhere. It received a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance (1983). Summer opened the Grammys that year with a rousing performance of the soon to be women's classic.

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 wonders where she is and
It's strange to her
Some people seem to have everything

Nine a.m. on the hour hand
And she's waiting for the bell
And she's looking real pretty
Just waitin' for her clientele

She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right

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
What little money just tips for pay
But it's worth it all
To hear them say that they care

She works hard for the money
So hard for it honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right

(She) already knows
She's seen her bad times
(she) already knows
These are the good times

But never sell out
She never will
Not for a dollar bill
She works Hard

Donna Summer is a blessing that God has placed on Earth. She really put her talent to work for the benefit of human kind not just her benefit. Thank you, God, for giving her to us and saving her. We love you Donna and so does God!

Donna Summer deserves so much more admiration than Janet Jackson and Madonna combined for DS paved the way for them just like Dionne Warwick and Aretha Franklin did for any RnB Diva.

I have read that Donna gave some of the money from this song to the lady who inspired it. There was a video here Donna singing Celebrate me home. Unfortunately it has been pulled.
