Lyrics Get A Haircut - George Thorogood & The Destroyers

I was a rebel from the day I left school
Grew my hair long and broke all the rules
I'd sit and listen to my records all day
With big ambitions of when I could play

My parents taught me what life was about
So I grew up the type they'd warn 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 nine to five scene
I told myself that it was all a bad dream
I found a band and some good songs to play
Now I party all night, I sleep all day
I met this chick, she was my number one 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 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?

(Get a real job)
(Why don't you get a real job?)
(Get a real job)
(Why don't you get a real -)

I hit the big-time with my rock and roll band
The future's brighter now than I'd ever plan
I'm ten times richer than my big brother Bob
But, he's got a haircut, and he's got 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?

(Get a real job)
(Why don't you get a real job?)
(Get a real job)
(Why don't you get a real -)
