Another Rainy Thursday - Richard C. Nardin
Oh another rainy Thursday
There's nothing on the tube
And oh the kids are fighting
Another dry martini
And I sit down with the news.
oh my, the wife is out with the girls again
Bowling and chewing the fat
Someone take me away to another day
When I wore a younger hat
Cause when we were in college
We dressed in ragged jeans
And we kept the campus jumping
And the middle class predicament
Was just an awful dream
And not for me
We'd raise our voice and the battle cry
"We want it and we want i t now"
So get out of the way we're coming through
And we'll save this world somehow
And we'll save this world somehow
But now I'm in computers
Oh what fun
We push the little buttons
And we watch the suckers run
And if this building had some windows
Perhaps we'd see the sun
Every now and then
But it's not quite as bad as what you're thinking
Cause I'm raking in the dough
And there's a nice bunch of guys
I'm working with some guys
Called Larry, Curly and Hoe
But we used to be so wild
We'd even lived in tents
And the older generations
How could they be so dense
But now I'm over thirty and
Republicans makes sense
Oh my, Oh my
It's the mortgage, the taxes
The insurance men gotten me on the run
Like the werewolf of London
I'm howling at the moon
Cause what have I begun?
And I got up to my room
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my
