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.
