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>
