Keeping up with the joneses

Verse

I’m keeping up with the Joneses

Trying to make it to the top.

I’m working for that dollar

So hard I think I’ll drop.

I’m keeping up with the joneses

Just trying to keep it straight.

 Busy working overtime

But still the bills are late.

Chorus

I’m busy working overtime

To buy the things I need.

Trying to satisfy the joneses

And what the jones’s need.

Verse

A little ice in my cola.

And a sip of my champagne.

I’m cranking up the beamer

I’ll work till I’m insane.

Gonna buy myself some roses

And work my overtime.

To keep up with the joneses

I’ll do another line.

Chorus

I’m busy working overtime

To buy the things I need.

Trying to satisfy the joneses

And what the jones’s need.

Verse

Gonna crank up the Cadillac

Yes I’ll work the back to back.

I’ll have me some seven up

Along with applejack.

I’m an all-star American

In a house of plastic cards.

Its holiday tradition

To decorate our yards.

Bridge

Because bigger means better.

But betters not enough.

It’s not about who you are.

It’s all about the stuff.

Chorus

I’m busy working overtime

To buy the things I need.

Trying to satisfy the joneses

And what the jones’s need.

 

Jones has a double meaning.

Cola, champagne, beamer, roses, cadillac, the back to back and applejack are all slang drug references for those who don't know.
