Workingman


KEEP YOUR DAY JOB

Maybe you collect or maybe you pay,
Still got to work that eight hour day.
Whether you like that job or not,
Keep it on ice while you're lining up your long shot,
Which is to say hey-ey-ey-ey.

Keep your day job, don't give it away,
Keep your day job, whatever they say.

Ring that bell for whatever it's worth,
WHEN MONDAY COMES DON'T FORGET ABOUT WORK.
By now you know that the face on your dollar,
Got a thumb on it's nose and a hand on your collar,
Which is to say hey-ey-ey-ey.


I fight poverty,
I work.
Tim

Robert Hunter's "Box of Rain" states "Keep your Day Job" was only song ever dropped from the Grateful Dead's repetoire at the fans'' request
