What About Us

Who's got a house made of glass
Has his own swimming pool - what a gas
We got a one-room shack
A pile of sticks by a railroad track

What about us? What about us?
Don't want to cause no fuss - What about us?

Who's with a beautiful chick
Every night of the week - pretty slick
We're two poor, hung-up souls
The girls won't touch with ten-foot poles

What about us? What about us?
Don't want to cause no fuss - What about us?

He's goes to eat at the Ritz
Big steaks - that's the breaks
We eat our harmony grits
From a bag - what a drag

Who's got a car made of suede
With a black leather top - got it made
When we go out on dates
We go on a box on roller skates

What about us? What about us?
Don't want to cause no fuss - What about us?

He's goes to eat at the Ritz
Big steaks - that's the breaks
We eat our harmony grits
From a bag - what a drag

Who's got a car made of suede
With a black leather top - got it made
When we go out on dates
We go on a box on roller skates

What about us? What about us?
Don't want to cause no fuss - What about us?
