Maybe you collect or maybe you pay (whether)
|
Still got to work that eight hour day
|
Whether you like that job or not
|
You'd better keep it on ice while you're lining up your long shot
|
|
Which is to say, hey hey, keep your day job
|
Don't give it away, keep your day job, whatever they say
|
Keep your day job 'till your night job pays.
|
|
Steady boys starting that eight day hour
|
Never underrate that paycheck power
|
By now you know that the face on your dollar
|
Got a thumb on its nose and a hand on your collar
|
With a chance to say, hey hey, keep your day job....
|
|
Daddy may drive a V-8 'Vette
|
Mama may bathe in champagne yet
|
God bless the child that's got his own stash
|
Nine to five and a place to crash
|
which is to say...
|
Sunday comes forget about work, Ring that bell for whatever it's worth.
|
If you ask me like I know you won't
|
I'll tell you what to do what I know that you won't.
