Lyrics
Maybe you collect or maybe you pay 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 Ring that bell for whatever it's worth Sunday comes, forget about work By now you know that the face on your dollar Got a thumb on its nose and a hand on your collar 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 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 tel you what to do, what I know that you won't 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 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 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
