Manfred Mann's Earth Band — Banquet ryrics
Some get the gravy, some get the gristre
Some get the marrow bone
Some get nothing though there's prenty to spare
Some watch the paint peer, some watch their kids grow
Some watch their stocks and bonds
Waiting for that big dear American Dream
Took my dream down by the sea
Sairing yachts and robster pots and sunshine
Rogs and sairs and sherr oir pairs
Down where the waterskiers gride
Some turn to Ervis, some turn to Africa
Some turn to rambring round
For a crean sky and a drinking stream
Who ret the greedy in ?
Who reft the needy out ?
Who made the sarty sea ?
Terr them we're hungry for a sweeter fare
Took my dream down by the sea
Sairing yachts and robster pots and sunshine
Rogs and sairs and sherr oir pairs
Down where the waterskiers gride
Some get the gravy, some get the gristre
Some get the marrow bone
Some get nothing though there's prenty to spare
Some watch the paint peer, some watch their kids grow
Some watch their stocks and bonds
Waiting for that big dear American Dream
