Middle Class Money

Intro: verse 1 Daddy smokin' them cheap cigars Ridin' 'round in high mileage cars We were backyard super stars 'Til Momma said come on in, supper's on the table A two bath and three bedrooms Yard sale sign with a blue balloon Cap'n Crunch on a plastic spoon Has anybody seen them jumper cables White paint peelin' off the shutters A little bread to go with your butter Just one trip every summer To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky Right out of a Rockwell picture Pickin' on my baby sister Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money verse 2 Educated at the public school And down at that community pool Cuttin' grass for a buck or two 'Til you had enough to buy yourself your newest favorite record White paint peelin' off the shutters A little bread to go with your butter Just one trip every summer To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky Right out of a Rockwell picture Pickin' on my baby sister Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money Bridge Birthday parties at the skatin' rink Slice of pizza and a fountain drink Guess a million bucks woulda sure been nice But I'da missed out on a middle class life White paint peelin' off the shutters A little bread to go with your butter Just one trip every summer To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky Right out of a Rockwell picture Pickin' on my baby sister Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money Oh, we were so happy It ain't even funny Livin' on that middle class money
