Banquet |
| 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 |
| 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 |
