| One night as I was walking down Columbus Avenue
|
| The sushi bars were shuttered, and the dark cantina too
|
| I stood there in the darkness as an empty cab rolled by
|
| When all at once I heard the sound of yuppies in the sky
|
| The herd came down Columbus for as far as I could see
|
| The men were wearing polo and the women wore esprit
|
| Each yuppie had a Walkman, and as each one passed me by
|
| I saw their sad expressions and I heard their mournful cry
|
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky
|
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky
|
| Each one was wearing running shoes upon the ghostly deck
|
| And each one had a cotton sweater wrapped around his neck
|
| They all held out their credit cards and tried in vain to buy
|
| But all the stores were shuttered to the yuppies in the sky
|
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky
|
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky
|
| I’d seen them in commercials sailing boats and playing ball
|
| Pouring beer for one another, crying, «Why not have it all»
|
| Now I saw their ghostly progress down Columbus Avenue
|
| I heard their cries for mercy and it chilled me through and through
|
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky
|
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh 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, they faded from my view
|
| They’d be networking forever down Columbus Avenue
|
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky
|
| Condos for sale, Condos to buy, Oh Yuppies in the sky |
