Lyrics

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 ten-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? 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? What about us? What about us? But what about us?
