Yuppies In The Sky (LP Version)歌词

作词 : Tom Paxton
作曲 : Tom Paxton
As I went out one evenin' down Columbus avenue
All the sushi bars were shuttered
Dark cantinas too
And I stood there in the darkness
As an empty cab rolled by
Then all at once I
Heard the sound of
Yuppies in the sky
Then a herd came down Columbus
For as far as I could see
All the men were wearing polo
And the women wore esprit
Each yuppie had a walk man
And as each one passed me by
I saw their sad expressions
And I heard their mournful cry
Condos for sale
Condos for sale
Condos to buy
Yuppies in the sky
Each one was wearing running shoes
Upon the ghostly deck
And each one had a cotton sweater wrapped around the neck
They all held out their credit cards
And tried in vain to buy
But not a store was open
To the yuppies in the sky
Condos for sale
Condos for sale
Condos to buy
Yuppies in the sky
The yuppie I oh
I've seen them in commercials sailin' boats and playin' ball
Pourin' beer for one another cryin
Why not have it all
Now I saw the ghostly progress
As the winds around me blew
Till I I felt the urge to purchase
A B M W
Condos for sale
Condos to buy
Yuppies in the sky
All the salad bars were empty
All the quiche lorraine was gone
I heard the yuppies crying as they vanished in the dawn
Calling brand names to each other
As they faded from my view
They'll be networking forever
Down Columbus avenue
Move those mini vans out
Condos for sale
Condos to buy
Yuppies
In the sky
