Tom Paxton - Yuppies in the Sky lyrics

[Tom Paxton - Yuppies in the Sky lyrics]

One night as I was
Walking down Columbus Avenue
The sushi bars were shuttered
And the dark cantina too
I stood there in the darkness as
An empty cab rolled by
When all at once I heard the
Sound of yuppies in the sky

The herd came down Columbus for as
Far as I could see
The men were wearing polo and
The women wore esprit
Each yuppie had a Walkman
And as each one passed me by
I saw their sad expressions and
I heard their mournful cry

Condos for sale, Condos to buy
Oh Yuppies in the sky
Condos for sale, Condos to buy


Oh Yuppies in the sky
Each one was wearing running shoes
Upon the ghostly deck
And each one had a cotton
Sweater wrapped around his neck
They all held out their credit cards
And tried in vain to buy
But all the stores were shuttered to
The yuppies in the sky

Condos for sale, Condos to buy
Oh Yuppies in the sky
Condos for sale, Condos to buy
Oh Yuppies in the sky

I'd seen them in commercials sailing
Boats and playing ball
Pouring beer for one another, crying
"Why not have it all"
Now I saw their ghostly
Progress down Columbus Avenue
I heard their cries for mercy and
It chilled me through and through

Condos for sale, Condos to buy
Oh Yuppies in the sky
Condos for sale, Condos to buy
Oh Yuppies in the sky

All the salad bars were empty
All the quiche Lorraine was gone
I heard the yuppies crying as
They vanished in the dawn
Calling brand names to each other
They faded from my view
They'd be networking forever
Down Columbus Avenue

Condos for sale, Condos to buy
Oh Yuppies in the sky
Condos for sale, Condos to buy
Oh Yuppies in the sky
