Lyrics
DON'T GIVE UP THE DAY JOB
Words, Music and © (All Rights Reserved) Laurence Conway, 2018
Pop, BPM 120
Introductory Melody (8 bars)
Verse 1:
Ev'rybody wants to be a Rock star
But there's a piece of advice you should heed
Show how sensible you are:
Chorus:
DON'T GIVE UP THE DAY JOB yet
You'd be a fool to quit too soon
Bide your time until you're quite ready
Then OK give it up when the time is right
Linking Melody as Intro
Verse 2:
Do your groundwork
Just create till you're certain about it
Just hold on tight to your job
Till it's clear you can go on without it
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
DON'T GIVE UP THE DAY JOB
Unless you're sure you could eat and pay the rent
DON'T GIVE UP THE DAY JOB
Until the time is right
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Intro/Linking Melody
Add (further 8 bars) Fade Out Melody/Riff
