Peter, Paul & Mary - Yuppies In The Sky Lyrics
As i went out one evenin' down columbus avenueAll the sushi bars were shuttered, dark cantinas tooAnd i stood there in the darkness,as an empty cab rolled byThen all at once i heard the sound of yuppies in the skyThen the herd came down columbus, for as far as i could seeAll the men were wearing polo, and the women wore espritEach yuppie had a walk-man and as each one passed me byI saw their sad expressions and i heard their mournful cryChorus:Condos for sale, condos to buy, yuppies in the skyEach one was wearing running shoes upon the ghostly deckAnd each one had a cotton sweater wrapped around the neckThey all held out their credit cards and tried in vain to buyBut not a store was open to the yuppies in the sky.(chorus)(the yuppie-i-o)I've seen them in commercials sailin' boats and playin' ballPourin' beer for one another cryin', "why not have it all?"Now i saw the ghostly progress as the winds around me blewTill i, i felt the urge to purchase a bmw(chorus)All the salad bars were empty, all the quiche lorraine was goneI heard the yuppies crying as they vanished in the dawnCalling brand names to each other, as they faded from my viewThey'll be networking forever down columbus avenue(move those mini-vans out!)(chorus)
