Gravy Train |
| Well they fly past the ghettos and the factories |
| Ridin' on the Gravy Train |
| Leaving all the places that they really ought to be |
| Ridin' on the Gravy Train |
| Past the coal mines black and scarred |
| Starter houses in the loading yard |
| On the Gravy Train, On the Gravy Train |
| There’s the lucky little mothers in their luxury cars |
| Ridin' on the Gravy Train |
| Never thank each other or their lucky stars |
| Ridin' on the Gravy Train |
| That’s worse than ingratitude |
| Worse than a piss poor attitude |
| On the Gravy Train, Gravy Train |
| Well the hanger-uppers and the hangers-on |
| Ridin' on the Gravy Train |
| Champagne suppers with their daggers all drawn |
| Ridin' on the Gravy Train |
| Some act tough, some act rude |
| Some bit of fluff complain about the food |
| You wanna see somebody getting really rude |
| Get on the Gravy Train, Gravy Train |
| Well the golden goose is clattering-a-down the track |
| And they’re gonna be ridin' in an old caboose |
| Coming back |
| There’s the soldiers of fashion on the hit parade |
| Ridin' on the Gravy Train |
| Tongue lashing with the bitch brigade |
| Ridin' on the Gravy Train |
| Freeloader licks my boots |
| Tells me how he digs my suit |
| You got lucky son, don’t get cute |
| Get on the Gravy Train |
