Grew my hair long and broke all the rules
 I'd sit and listen to my records all day
 With big ambitions of where i could play

 My parents taught me what life was 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

 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
 And now I party all night, I sleep all day

 I met this chick she was my No.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

 Get a real job, why don't you get a real job
 Get a real job, why don't you get a real job

 I hit the big time with my rock 'n' roll band
 The future's brighter now than I'd ever planned
 I'm ten times richer than my big brother bob
 And he, he's got a haircut he's got a real job

 Why don't you get a haircut and get a real job

 I even tried that 9 to 5 scene
