Did you ever just want to lay down

Tell the world you've had enough

Did you ever just want to drop out

When the goin' got a little bit rough

Have you ever walked the sidewalks hungry

Have you ever really had the blues

So now you want to see how the other half lives

Well brother whatcha got to lose



Whatcha got to lose if you leave your home

And you never think of ever goin' back

Your father's makin' money for the good of the country

And your mother's out bettin' at the track



Camptown ladies sing them songs doo dah doo dah

Now you want to let your hair grow long

And get a little pad uptown

Throw away your checkbook and all your credit cards

And use your wits to get around

So you think it's gonna make you happy

See your story in the evening news

Makin' a game out of pointin' the blame

Brother whatcha got to lose



Hey lonely Rockefeller Square

The underground world don't fit a millionaire

Hey Rocky whatcha gonna do

First time you've ever had the pressure on you

But Rock when the rockin' and the bummin' is through

There'll still be piece of Daddy's kingdom for you



Rocky you sure hurt your mama

And your daddy's got an ulcer for you

With the stock market shot and the war's still hot

It was sure was a cruel thing to do



(So don't cry boy)

Hey lonely Rockefeller Square

The underground world don't fit a millionaire

Hey Rocky whatcha gonna do

First time you've ever had the pressure on you

But Rock when the rockin' and the bummin' is through

There'll still be piece of Daddy's kingdom for you



Money today money to pay

Don't you go gay

Rocky better pray
