Maybe you collect or maybe you pay
Still gotta work that eight-hour day
Whether you like that job or not
Youd better keep it on ice
While youre lining up your long shot
Which is to say, hey hey
Keep your day job, whatever they say
Keep your day job, dont give it away
Keep your day job, til your night job pays
Steady boys study 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
Which is to say, hey hey
Keep your day job, whatever they say
Keep your day job, dont give it away
Keep your day job, til your night job pays
Daddy may drive a V-8 Vette
Mama may bathe in champagne yet
God bless thе child thats got his own stash
Nine to five and a place to crash
Which is to say, hеy, hey
Keep your day job, whatever they say
Keep your day job, dont give it away
Keep your day job, til your night job pays
Keep your day job, dont give it away
Keep your day job, whatever they say
Keep your day job, til your night job pays
Keep your day job, whatever they say
Keep your day job, dont give it away
Keep your day job, til your night job pays
Good night, everybody
