    “Eight Hours a Day” lyrics

Eight hours a day
He worked eight hours a day
Scooping Ice Cream
And getting paid
He ate ice cream all day

On the first day
He had worked 8 hours (tried the chocolate!)
1 x 8 is 8, 1 x 8 is 8

By the second day
He had worked 16 hours (pistachio!)
2 x 8 is 16, 2 x 8 is 16

By the third day
He had worked 24 hours (mint was really good!)
3 x 8 is 24, 3 x 8 is 24

Eight hours a day
He worked eight hours a day
Scooping Ice Cream
And getting paid
He ate ice cream all day

By the 4th day
He had worked 32 hours (cookies and cream!)
4 x 8 is 32, 4 x 8 is 32

By the 5th day
He had worked 40 hours (pink bubble gum!)
5 x 8 is 40, 5 x 8 is 40

By the 6th day
He had worked 48 hours (rainbow sherbet)
6 x 8 is 48, 6 x 8 is 48

Eight hours a day
He worked eight hours a day
Scooping Ice Cream
And getting paid
He ate ice cream all day

We counted 8 16 and 24
Hours that he's worked at the ice cream store
32, 40, 48, 56, 64 and 72
(When I get to 80
They say they're gonna pay me
I hope they do it soon I think I'm gonna explode!)

By the 7th day
He had worked 56 hours (butter pecan!)
7 x 8 is 56, 7 x 8 is 56

By the 8th day
He had worked 64 hours (double chocolate chip!)
8 x 8 is 64, 8 x 8 is 64

By the 9th day
He'd worked 72 hours (banana split)
9 x 8 is 72, 9 x 8 is 72

On the 10th day
His boss was missing lots of ice cream...

(So he came looking for me
He saw my big belly
Everyone could tell it was me
I'm no longer his employee)
