| You’ve got to save all your money to buy a new car |
| You’ve got to show everybody how you got where you are |
| You need a steam and dry iron to press your clothes |
| You’ve got to show everyone how you know what goes |
| They’re saying oh you’ve got to keep it up |
| Don’t be a fool with your money |
| You’ve got to save before you can spend all your cash |
| I’m only telling you for your own good |
| You’re at the top and |
| You know that’s where you want to stay |
| Everybody says that it’s better that way |
| Everyone says that nothing seems to make any difference |
| You got where you are cos you’re sitting on the fence |
| They’re saying oh you’ve got to keep it up |
| Oh you’ve got to keep it up |
| Don’t be a fool with your money |
| You’ve got to save before you can spend |
| It’s going to be much better for you in the end |
| I’m only telling you for your own good |
| Well everybody says that that’s o.k. |
| You’ve got to get there in your own way |
| And everybody says that that’s all right |
| You’ve got to do what you think is right |
| And all those bad boys there |
| They’re going to get you in the dark |
| They’re saying, Oh you’ve got to keep it up |
| Oh you’ve got to keep it up |
