Did you ever just want to lay down
Tell the world you've had enough
Did you ever just want to drop out

When the goin' got a little bit rough
Have you ever walked the sidewalks hungry
Have you ever really had the blues

So now you want to see how the other half lives
Well brother whatcha got to lose


Whatcha got to lose if you leave your home
And you never think of ever goin' back
Your father's makin' money for the good of the country

And your mother's out bettin' at the track

Camptown ladies sing them songs doo dah doo dah

Now you want to let your hair grow long
And get a little pad uptown
Throw away your checkbook and all your credit cards

And use your wits to get around
So you think it's gonna make you happy
See your story in the evening news

Makin' a game out of pointin' the blame
Brother whatcha got to lose


Hey lonely Rockefeller Square
The underground world don't fit a millionaire
Hey Rocky whatcha gonna do

First time you've ever had the pressure on you
But Rock when the rockin' and the bummin' is through
There'll still be piece of Daddy's kingdom for you


Rocky you sure hurt your mama
And your daddy's got an ulcer for you

With the stock market shot and the war's still hot
It was sure was a cruel thing to do


(So don't cry boy)
Hey lonely Rockefeller Square
The underground world don't fit a millionaire

Hey Rocky whatcha gonna do
First time you've ever had the pressure on you
But Rock when the rockin' and the bummin' is through

There'll still be piece of Daddy's kingdom for you

Money today money to pay

Don't you go gay
Rocky better pray
