Some get the gravy, some get the gristle |
|
Some get the marrow bone |
|
Some get nothing though there's plenty to spare |
|
Some watch the paint peel, some watch their kids grow |
|
Some watch their stocks and bonds |
|
Waiting for that big deal American Dream |
|
Took my dream down by the sea |
|
Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine |
|
Logs and sails and shell oil pails |
|
Down where the waterskiers glide |
|
Some turn to Elvis, some turn to Africa |
|
Some turn to rambling round |
|
For a clean sky and a drinking stream |
|
Who let the greedy in? Who left the needy out? |
|
Who made the salty sea? |
|
Tell them we're hungry for a sweeter fare |
|
Took my dream down by the sea |
|
Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine |
|
Logs and sails and shell oil pails |
|
Down where the waterskiers glide |
