Letra da Música Don’t Quit Your Day Job de Bob Schneider

Jimi went to the pawn shop
And bought himself a old guitar
He took it home and told his parents
I’m going to be a big star

They said,” well son that’s mighty nice,
And we sure do wish the best for you,
But if you if you want to hear some good advice
This is what we think you should do...

Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Do yourselves a favor

Well he formed a band the next week
They called themselves kill the pig
And the boys got all excited
When they played their very first gig

Every song they played that night
Was in the key of c (ya later)
At the end of the night the club owner came over and said,
“do yourselves a favor...

Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Do yourselves a favor

They made a cheap recording
Of all their “biggest hits”
They played it for their girlfriends
Who said,”this is the shit!”

They sent it to the big boys
In hopes of getting signed
They sent it back unopened and said,
“we’ll call you some other time, but in the meantime...

Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Do yourselves a favor

They all got hair extensions
And bought black leather pants
And they looked so much like rockstars
They actually got a chance

Their knuckleheaded producer
Said,”boys we need a hit!”
So they wrote a little song
That went a little something like this...

Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Do yourselves a favor

Now jimi’s in jamaica
Sailing in hi brand new yacht
And this feller sails up next to him
And says,”wew that musta cost a lot.
What do you do young man, to make that kind of bread?”
Jimi said,”i just sit around and play guitar.”
And the other man then said,”hey...

Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Don’t quit your day job
Do yourselves a favor
