Where were you at half past eight?
Should have clocked in and worked till late
I don't care just what you say
At the end of the week, I'm gonna cut your pay
'Cause you been rockin' all night (sleepin' all day)
Boppin' all night (sleepin' all day)
Hoppin' all night (sleepin' all day)
Boy, the life you been livin' just ain't my way

Last time you showed up, you were down on your feet
Boppin' all night to that crazy beat
I don't care just what you say
At the end of the week, I'm gonna cut your pay
'Cause you been rockin' all night (sleepin' all day)
Boppin' all night (sleepin' all day)
Hoppin' all night (sleepin' all day)
Boy, the life you been livin' just ain't my way
Boy, the life you been livin' just ain't my way

I know you're young and you wanna sing
This kind of work just ain't your thing
I'm just tryin' to make you see
You can't do what you like boy, you work for me
Last time you showed up, you were down on your feet
