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
