Everybody’s Rich but Us Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's not much fuzz on an apple
Very little hair on a grape
It's only the lack of a beard on a peach
That keeps it from being an ape
[Chorus]
Oh, one more time around Piccadilly Circus
Driver, follow that bus
It's a shame the way the rich folks work us
Everybody's rich but us
[Verse 2]
I bought my doggie a muzzle
So he wouldn't bite the man with the mail
But there was the mailman dead on the walk
He'd killed him with his tail
[Chorus]
Oh, one more time around Gooseberry Junction
Driver, follow that bus
It's rather hard for us to function
Everybody's rich but us
[Verse 3]
I gave my son a pep talk
About the birds and the bees
He understood so quickly
He took off with a breeze
First, he chased a chipmunk
Then he chased a bird
Now, he's married to a bumblebee
Heh, that is absurd
[Chorus]
Oh, one more time around Buckingham Palace
Driver, follow that bus
There's a blister growin' on my callus
Everybody's rich but us
[Verse 4]
My brother had a haircut
Done with pinking shears
He looks just like a Beatle
With rather fancy ears
[Chorus]
Oh, one more time around Piccadilly Circus
Driver, follow that bus
It's a shame the way the rich folks work us
Everybody's rich but us
[Outro]
Yes, Everybody's rich
Everybody's rich
Everybody's rich but us
Oh, yeah
There's not much fuzz on an apple
Very little hair on a grape
It's only the lack of a beard on a peach
That keeps it from being an ape
Oh, one more time around Piccadilly Circus
Driver, follow that bus
It's a shame the way the rich folks work us
Everybody's rich but us
I bought my doggie a muzzle
So he wouldn't bite the man with the mail
But there was the mailman dead on the walk
He'd killed him with his tail
Oh, one more time around Gooseberry Junction
Driver, follow that bus
It's rather hard for us to function
Everybody's rich but us
I gave my son a pep talk
About the birds and the bees
He understood so quickly
He took off with a breeze
First, he chased a chipmunk
Then he chased a bird
Now, he's married to a bumblebee
Heh, that is absurd
Oh, one more time around Buckingham Palace
Driver, follow that bus
There's a blister growin' on my callus
Everybody's rich but us
My brother had a haircut
Done with pinking shears
He looks just like a Beatle
With rather fancy ears
Oh, one more time around Piccadilly Circus
Driver, follow that bus
It's a shame the way the rich folks work us
Everybody's rich but us
Yes, Everybody's rich
Everybody's rich
Everybody's rich but us
Oh, yeah
