[Verse 1]
Maybe you collect or maybe you pay
Still gotta 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

[Chorus]
Keep your day job, whatever they say
Keep your day job, don't give it away
Keep your day job, 'til your night job pays

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Keep your day job, whatever they say
Keep your day job, don't give it away
Keep your day job, 'til your night job pays

[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
Daddy may drive a V-8 'Vette
Mama may bathe in champagne yet
God bless thе child that's got his own stash
Nine to five and a place to crash
Which is to say, hеy, hey

[Chorus]
Keep your day job, whatever they say
Keep your day job, don't give it away
Keep your day job, 'til your night job pays

[Outro]
Keep your day job, don't 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, don't give it away
Keep your day job, 'til your night job pays

Good night, everybody
