| People gather round me... This is to who it may concern I'm not tryin' to run your life but you're never too old to learn Stop worryin' about your neighbors and the fancy things they got 'Cause if you do you'll find it's true, you're gonna wind up on the spot Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down You may not believe it but nine times out of ten it's true The people you're tryin' to keep up with are tryin' to keep up too Remember that old sayin'; "All that glitters ain't gold" Take heed, don't ignore it, and to your money tightly hold Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down You're a leader yourself but you don't even know it You're so busy followin' Joneses you ain't got time to show it Keeping up with the Joneses, it only makes your life a mess Bill collectors, tranquilizers and gettin' deeper in debt You better leave the Joneses alone You better leave ---oh leave--- the Joneses alone Joneses got a new car today Here's what you should say; Hooray for the Joneses Instead you worry 'til your whole head turns gray Worryin' about the Joneses Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to pay So leave (boom boom) the Joneses alone Your car might be old but, remember; It never fails to get you where you want to go Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down You're doing fine Don't let the Joneses blow your mind If you see somethin' you want and you know you can't afford it Well the very next thing for you to do is start saving towards it The Joneses have been the downfall of many a person you see So, people, take my advice and let the Joneses be Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Jones... Don't let the Joneses get you down You're doing fine Don't let the Joneses blow your mind You're doing fine Don't let the Joneses blow your mind | |
