Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris movie - THE MIDDLE CLASS lyrics
rate me<br>
Your heart feels so right<br>
Your eyes swim in the beer<br>
Where the barroom lights are hung<br>
And with your friend Jojo<br>
And with your friend Pierre<br>
You drink a toast to being young<br>
Jojo thinks he's Voltaire<br>
And Pierre, Casanova<br>
And me who proudly did not care<br>
Me, I was a lover<br>
And at midnight we watched the<br>
Lawyers pass<br>
Coming out of hotels which had real class<br>
We showed them our good manners<br>
And we showed them our ass<br>
And, oh, how we sang<br>
The middle class are just like pigs<br>
The older they get, the dumber they get<br>
The middle class are just like pigs<br>
The fatter they get, the less they regret<br>
Your heart feels so right<br>
Your eyes swim in the beer<br>
Where the barroom lights are hung<br>
And with your friend Jojo<br>
And with your friend Pierre<br>
Holding on to being young<br>
Voltaire danced like a vicar<br>
Casanova, he was too stout<br>
And me who proudly did not care<br>
Me, I drank till I passed out<br>
And at midnight<br>
We watched the salesmen pass<br>
Coming out of hotels which had real class<br>
We showed them our good manners<br>
And we showed them our ass<br>
And, oh, how we sang<br>
The middle class are just like pigs<br>
The older they get, the dumber they get<br>
The middle class are just like pigs<br>
The fatter they get, the less they regret<br>
But your heart slows down<br>
Your eyes do not flash<br>
The hotel bartender sings our praise<br>
Jojo's no clown<br>
Pierre pays in cash<br>
Among the bookkeepers we pass our days<br>
Jojo now speaks of Voltaire<br>
Casanova's just a book on the shelf<br>
And, me, I proudly do not care<br>
Me, I talk only of myself<br>
And everybody knows<br>
That we've got real class<br>
There is not a night that we can pass<br>
Those lousy kids<br>
Who always show us their ass<br>
And, oh, how they sing<br>
The middle class are just like pigs<br>
The older they get, the dumber they get<br>
The middle class are just like pigs<br>
The fatter they get, the less they regret<br>
<br>
