George Thorogood

I was a rebel from the day I left school
I grew my hair long and broke all the rules
I'd sit and listen to my records all day
With big ambitions of when I could play

My parents taught me what life is about
So I grew up the type they warned me about
They said my friends were just an unruly mob
And I should get a haircut and get a real job

CHORUS
Get a haircut and get a real job
Clean your act up and don't be a slob
Get it together like your big brother Bob
Why don't you, get a haircut and get a real job

I even tried that 9 to 5 scene
I told myself that it was all a bad dream
I found a band and some good songs to play
Now I party all night and I sleep all day

I met this chick, she was my number 1 fan
She took me home to meet her mommy and dad
They took one look at me and said "Oh, my god"
Get a haircut and get a real job

CHORUS Get a real job (4x) Why don't you

I hit the big time with my rock-n-roll band
The future's brighter now then I'd ever planned
I'm 10 times richer than my big brother Bob
He's got a haircut and he's got a real job

CHORUS Get a real job (4x) Why don't you
