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
