He's got a house made of glass
Got his own swimming pool (what a gas)
We've got a one-room shack

Five by six by the railroad track

[CHORUS]

(Well) what about us, what about us
Don't wanna cause no fuss
But what about us


He's with a beautiful chick
Every night of the week (pretty slick)

We're two poor hung up souls
Girls won't touch with ten foot poles


[Repeat CHORUS]

He goes to eat at the Ritz

Big steaks (that's the breaks)
We eat our hominy grits
From a bag (what a drag)


He's got a car made of suede
With a black leather top (got it made)

If we go out on dates
We go in a box on our roller skates


[Repeat CHORUS]

He goes to eat at the Ritz

Big steaks (that's the breaks)
We eat our hominy grits
From a bag (what a drag)


He's got a car made of suede
With a black leather top (got it made)

If we go out on dates
We go in a box on our roller skates


[Repeat CHORUS]

What about us, what about us...
