The origin of the proverb "nice work if you can get it" comes from a song by George Gershwin in 1937, featured in the Broadway musical 'Rosalie.' The phrase is often used to express envy or jealousy when someone has a desirable position or achievement that seems easy or effortless. It suggests that while the work or situation is appealing, it may not be something everyone can attain. The proverb is commonly used to highlight the frustration of seeing others achieve success without much struggle, as if the opportunity is a rare chance.
