Lyrics: Willoughby
Now the neighbors who livenext door to us,
Night before they had a fuss
Gimme some money said the wife
He replied Not on your life!
Don't try to keep up with the Joneses
Live as we used to be
Don't try to keep up with the Joneses
They have more money than we
Now we used to have a joint account
Zero is now the amount
You spent it all on fancy clothes
And the shoes with open toes
Don't try to keep up with the Joneses
Live as we used to be
Don't try to keep up with the Joneses
They have more money than we
Now this is the last day for the rent
You can't have another cent
Now shut up! Before you lose me head
Put out the lights and go to bed!
Don't try to keep up with the Joneses
Live as we used to be
Well,
Don't try to keep up with the Joneses
You know
They got more money than we
I said
Don't try to keep up with the Joneses
Live as we used to be
Well,
Don't try to keep up with the Joneses
They got, they got more money than we
Well,
don't try to keep up with the...
Why don't you get up andmake somemoney like the Joneses?
What's the matter with you?
This is alternation
For Pete's sakes
Make a little money,
We got to have something...
You make me sick!
You make me tired!
We have to keep up with the Joneses
