[Verse 1]
Maybe you collect or maybe you pay
Whoever's gonna get 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-ey

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Ring that bell for whatever it's worth
When Monday comes, don't forget about work
By now you know there's a man on your dollar
Got a hand on your throat and a hand on your collar
Which is to say, hey-ey

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
When Monday comes, don't forget about work
Ring that bell for whatever it's worth
Don't have to ask me, I know you won't
I'll tell you to do that I know you won't
Which is to say, hey-ey

[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
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
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]
We're gonna take a break, and we'll be back in just a few minutes, so everybody hang loose
