What About Us

He's got a house made of glass

Got his own swimming pool...what a gas

We've got a one-room shack

Five by six by the railroad track, well

What about us

What about us

Don't wanna cause no fuss

But what about us

He's with a beautiful chick

Every night of the week, pretty slick

We're two poor hung up souls

Girls won't touch with a 10-foot pole, well

What about us

What about us

Don't wanna cause no fuss

But what about us

He goes to eat at the Ritz

Big steaks...that's the breaks

We eat hominy grits

From a bag...what a drag

He's got a car made of suede

With a black leather top...got it made

If we go out on dates

We go in a box on roller skates, well

What about us

What about us

Don't wanna cause no fuss

But what about us
