Don't Quit Your Night Job

from King of Quirk by Lucky Doug Fergus

/

about

I wrote this as a playful tribute to a friend who was a full time professional musician, but got tired of being on the road 10 months of the year and quit music to have a 'normal' job.

lyrics

Rolling down the highway on to another town
Get up on the stage act like a freaking clown
Living in the van where am I supposed to take a crap?
Hurry hurry up when can I take a nap?

Don’t quit your night job
Don’t quit tonight
Don’t quit your night job
Don’t quit tonight
Don’t quit your night job
Don’t quit tonight

What else can I do in order to stay in one place
Supermarket checker dig a ditch wash a plate
My drummer looks at me says are you out of your mind
The only thing we know is doing this night club grind

Don’t quit your night job
Don’t quit tonight
Don’t quit your night job
Don’t quit tonight
Don’t quit your night job
Don’t quit tonight

Hey there little dreamer floating out there in space
Stick to what you know plucking your four string bass
Whatcha gonna do now learn a new trade by mail?
Be a rocket surgeon, fix a car, pound a nail?

Don’t quit your night job
Don’t quit tonight
Don’t quit your night job
Don’t quit tonight
Don’t quit your night job
Don’t quit tonight

Doug is continually driven to create music that is quirky, fun, thought provoking and in some way, inspiring.
