Marginal Middle Class |
|
By dean friedman |
|
I wanna have a big backyard. |
|
I wanna have a mailbox and swings. |
|
I wanna have a welcome mat and a porcelain cat, |
|
And a doorbell that rings. |
|
I wanna have a burglar alarm |
|
To keep my family from harm, |
|
I wanna be marginal middle class, |
|
I wanna be respectable middle class, |
|
I wanna hire a kid to cut the grass, |
|
I wanna be marginal middle class. |
|
I wanna join the local lodge. |
|
I wanna have a two car garage. |
|
I wanna do a high school play with the p.t.a. |
|
I wanna have a new dodge. |
|
I wanna have a steady job. |
|
I wanna eat corn on the cob. |
|
I wanna be marginal middle class, |
|
I wanna be respectable middle class, |
|
I wanna hedge my bets, i wanna cover my ass, |
|
I wanna be marginal middle class. |
|
I don't wanna have a lot of dough, |
|
I just wanna be your average joe. |
|
I wanna have just enough to see an occasional broadway show. |
|
I wanna have a swimming pool. |
|
I wanna have a couple of kids. |
|
I wanna have a motorbike and a dog named mike |
|
And two guinea pigs. |
|
I wanna have a library card. |
|
I don't wanna have to work too hard. |
|
I wanna be \"honey, can we eat out tonight?\" middle class, |
|
I wanna be \"daddy, roger punched me on the nose.\" middle class, |
|
I wanna live right near the overpass, |
|
I wanna be marginal middle class. |
|
I wanna be marginal middle class. |
