| Me and my wife went all over town |
| And everywhere we went people turned us down |
| Lord, in a bourgeois town |
| It’s a bourgeois town |
| I got the bourgeois blues |
| Gonna spread the news all around |
| Home of the brave, land of the free |
| I don’t wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie |
| Lord, in a bourgeois town |
| Uhm, the bourgeois town |
| I got the bourgeois blues |
| Gonna spread the news all around |
| Well, me and my wife we were standing upstairs |
| We heard the white man say «I don’t want no niggers up there» |
| Lord, in a bourgeois town |
| Uhm, bourgeois town |
| I got the bourgeois blues |
| Gonna spread the news all around |
| Well, them white folks in Washington they know how |
| To call a colored man a nigga just to see him bow |
| Lord, it’s a bourgeois town |
| Uhm, the bourgeois town |
| I got the bourgeois blues |
| Gonna spread the news all around |
| I tell all the colored folks to listen to me |
| Don’t try to find you no home in Washington, DC |
| 'Cause it’s a bourgeois town |
| Uhm, the bourgeois town |
| I got the bourgeois blues |
| Gonna spread the news all around |
