[Verse 1]
Come to the dinner gong
The table is laden high
Fat bellies and hungry little ones
Tuck your napkins in and take your share
[Chorus 1]
Some get the gravy, and
Some get the gristle
Some get the marrow bone, and
Some get nothing though there's plenty to spare
[Verse 2]
I took my share down by the sea
Paper plates and Javex bottles on the tide
Seagulls come down and they squawk at me
Down whеre the water-skiеrs glide
[Chorus 2]
Some turn to Jesus
And some turn to heroin
Some turn to rambling 'round
Looking for a clean sky and a drinking stream
Some watch the paint peel off
Some watch their kids grow up
Some watch their stocks and bonds
Waiting for that big deal American Dream
Come to the dinner gong
The table is laden high
Fat bellies and hungry little ones
Tuck your napkins in and take your share
[Chorus 1]
Some get the gravy, and
Some get the gristle
Some get the marrow bone, and
Some get nothing though there's plenty to spare
[Verse 2]
I took my share down by the sea
Paper plates and Javex bottles on the tide
Seagulls come down and they squawk at me
Down whеre the water-skiеrs glide
[Chorus 2]
Some turn to Jesus
And some turn to heroin
Some turn to rambling 'round
Looking for a clean sky and a drinking stream
Some watch the paint peel off
Some watch their kids grow up
Some watch their stocks and bonds
Waiting for that big deal American Dream
