[Chorus] This danged ol’ day job It ain’t no thrill But it makes those ends meet And pays my bills I ain’t complaining But it ain’t right My old day job Is ruining my night life Sometimes I go out on the town Out with the boys Throw some cold ones down We’ll all get crazy Then i’ll realize Yeah my old day job Is ruining my night life [Chorus] Hey there’s my bossman He’s tied one on And there’s my banker too drunk To drive back home Tomorrow morning Ain’t on their minds And my old day job Is ruining my night life [Chorus] Yeah my old day job
