Keep Your Day Job

Grateful Dead

1. Maybe you collect or maybe you pay (whether)
   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, hey

R: 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.

2. Steady boys starting 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, hey

R: Keep your day job...

3. Daddy may drive a Sting-Ray 'Vette
   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, hey

R: Keep your day job...

4. Sunday comes forget about work,
   Ring that bell for whatever it's worth.
   If you ask me, which I know you don't,
   I'd tell you to do what I know you won't
   Which is to say, hey, hey, hey
