Middle Class Money
Daddy smokin' them cheap cigars
Ridin' 'round in high mileage cars
We were backyard super stars
'Til Momma said come on in, supper's on the table
A two bath and three bedrooms
Yard sale sign with a blue balloon
Cap'n Crunch on a plastic spoon
Has anybody seen them jumper cables
White paint peelin' off the shutters
A little bread to go with your butter
Just one trip every summer
To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky
Right out of a Rockwell picture
Pickin' on my baby sister
Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey
In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money
Educated at the public school
And down at that community pool
Cuttin' grass for a buck or two
'Til you had enough to buy yourself your newest favorite record
White paint peelin' off the shutters
A little bread to go with your butter
Just one trip every summer
To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky
Right out of a Rockwell picture
Pickin' on my baby sister
Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey
In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money
Birthday parties at the skatin' rink
Slice of pizza and a fountain drink
Guess a million bucks woulda sure been nice
But I'da missed out on a middle class life
White paint peelin' off the shutters
A little bread to go with your butter
And just one trip every summer
To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky
Right out of a Rockwell picture
Pickin' on my baby sister
Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey
In the tree, in the yard, growin middle class money
Oh, we were so happy
It ain't even funny
Livin' on that middle class money
Ridin' 'round in high mileage cars
We were backyard super stars
'Til Momma said come on in, supper's on the table
A two bath and three bedrooms
Yard sale sign with a blue balloon
Cap'n Crunch on a plastic spoon
Has anybody seen them jumper cables
White paint peelin' off the shutters
A little bread to go with your butter
Just one trip every summer
To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky
Right out of a Rockwell picture
Pickin' on my baby sister
Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey
In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money
Educated at the public school
And down at that community pool
Cuttin' grass for a buck or two
'Til you had enough to buy yourself your newest favorite record
White paint peelin' off the shutters
A little bread to go with your butter
Just one trip every summer
To Grandma's house or Mickey Mouse if you're lucky
Right out of a Rockwell picture
Pickin' on my baby sister
Callin' her names, Daddy callin' Mama honey
In the tree, in the yard, growin' middle class money

In the tree, in the yard, growin middle class money
Oh, we were so happy
It ain't even funny
Livin' on that middle class money
