Coasters - What About Us lyrics

rate me

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 />

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 />

What about us, what about us...
