Make a broad jump for your dreams
Go for the best you can get
Reach for that star
It isn't so far
But don't quit the day job yet
Gus up n go crash the show
Slap it all down on one bet
You'll wear a grin
When you cash in
But don't quit the day job yet
Everyone wants to be someone
Ride in a long limousine
Mostly they walk
Because mostly that talk
Mostly gets heard but not seen
You can be one of the gang
Up to your neck in regret
Better get wise
Open your eyes
But don't you quit that day job yet
When you advance to the front line
Mostly by breaking your rear
Then you can curse
As your taxes get worse
And all your good pals disappear
There's no excuse for success
Nobody lets you forget
So when you've won
Go have some fun
But when you're done
Grab it and run
But don't you quit that day job yet

This album sounds exactly like the cover looks. It’s a light and fun set of tracks that almost feel like they’re being performed just for you. A nice break for a busy day. Mykie Frankenstein
