Keep Your Day Job - Grateful Dead

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, whatever they say

Keep you day job, don’t give it away

Keep your day job 'till 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 you day job, don’t give it away

Keep your day job 'till your night job pays

Daddy may drive a V-8 'Vet

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, hey, hey

Keep your day job, whatever they say

Keep you day job, don’t give it away

Keep your day job 'till your night job pays

Keep your day job, whatever they say

Keep you day job, don’t give it away

Keep your day job 'till your night job pays

Keep your day job, whatever they say

Keep you day job, don’t give it away

Keep your day job 'till your night job pays
