It's Just Us (Live)
Yuppies in the Sky
Music and Lyrics by Tom Paxton
As I went out one evening down Columbus Avenue
The sushi bars were shuttered and the dark canteen is 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 cell phone and as each one passed me by
I saw their sad expression as I heard their mournful cry
Condos for sale
Condos to buy
The yuppies in the sky
Each one was wearing running shoes upon the ghostly deck
And each one had a cotton sweater wrapped around the neck
They all held out their credit card and tried in vain to buy
But all the stores were shuttered to the yuppies in the sky
Condos for sale
Condos to buy
The yuppies in the sky
I seen them in commercials sailing boats and playing ball
Pouring white wine for each other saying "Why not have it all?"
Now I watch the ghostly progress down Columbus Avenue
Kind of made me want to buy a B M W
Condos for sale
Condos to buy
The yuppies in the sky
All the salad bars were empty
All the quiche lauraine was gone
I hear the yuppies cry as they vanished in the dawn
Calling brand names to each other as they faded from my view
They'll be networking forever down Columbus Avenue
Condos for sale
Condos to buy
The yuppies in the sky
