Still got to work that eight hour day

Whether you like that job or not

‘Till your night job pays.
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

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

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
