YUPPIES IN THE SKY Time: 4/4 Tenor: G(Em) Bass: C(Am)
6m * 1 *
As I went out one evening, down Co-lumbus Ave-nue
6m * 1 * *
All the sushi bars were shuttered, the dark cantinas too
6m * * * *
I stood there in the darkness, as an empty cab rolled by
4 * 2m 6m *
When all at once I heard the sound of Yuppies in the sky
6m * 1 *
The herd came down Co-lumbus, for as far as I could see
6m * 1 * *
All the men were wearing Polo, and the women wore Es-prit
6m * * * (*)
Each Yuppie had a Walkman, and as each one passed me by *
4 * 2m 6m * *
I saw their sad ex-pressions, and I heard their mournful cry
1 * * * 6m * * * 4 2m 6m *
Condos for sale_____, condos to buy______, for Yuppies in the sky
6m * 1 * *
Each one was wearing running shoes, up-on the ghostly deck
6m * 1 * *
And each one had a cotton sweater, wrapped around the neck
6m * * * *
They all held out their credit cards, and tried in vain to buy
4 * 2m 6m *
But all the stores were shuttered, to the Yuppies in the sky
1 * * * 6m * * * 4 2m 6m *
Condos for sale____, condos to buy______, for Yuppies in the sky
I've seen them in commercials, sailing boats and playing ball
Pouring beer for one another, crying "Why not have it all"
Now I saw the ghostly progress, down Columbus Avenue
I heard the cry for mercy, and it chilled me through and through
Condos for sale, condos to buy, for 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, as they faded from my view
They'll be networking forever, down Columbus Avenue
Condos for sale, condos to buy, for Yuppies in the sky
Yuppies, Yuppies, Yuppies, in the sky
