He's got a house made of glass<br />
Got his own swimming pool (what a gas)<br />
We've got a one-room shack<br />
Five by six by the railroad track<br />
<br />
[CHORUS]<br />
(Well) what about us, what about us<br />
Don't wanna cause no fuss<br />
But what about us<br />
<br />
He's with a beautiful chick<br />
Every night of the week (pretty slick)<br />
We're two poor hung up souls<br />
Girls won't touch with ten foot poles<br />
<br />
[Repeat CHORUS]<br />
<br />
He goes to eat at the Ritz<br />
Big steaks (that's the breaks)<br />
We eat our hominy grits<br />
From a bag (what a drag)<br />
<br />
He's got a car made of suede<br />
With a black leather top (got it made)<br />
If we go out on dates<br />
We go in a box on our roller skates<br />
<br />
[Repeat CHORUS]<br />
<br />
He goes to eat at the Ritz<br />

<br />
What about us, what about us...
