[Verse 1]
He's got a house made of glass
Got his own swimming pool (What a gas)
We've got a one room shack
A pile of sticks by the railroad track

[Chorus]
(Well) What about us?
What about us?
Don't wanna cause no fuss
But what about us?

[Verse 2]
He's with a beautiful chick
Every night of the week (Pretty slick)
We're two poor hung up souls
Girls won't touch with ten-foot poles

[Chorus]
(Well) What about us?
What about us?
Don't wanna cause no fuss
But what about us?

[Bridge]
He goes to eat at the Ritz
Big steaks
(That's the breaks)
We eat-a hominy grits
From a bag
(What a drag)
[Verse 3]
He's got a car made of suede
With a black leather top (Got it made)
If we go out on dates
We go in a box on-a roller skates

[Chorus]
(Well) What about us?
What about us?
Don't wanna cause no fuss
But what about us?

[Bridge]
He goes to eat at the Ritz
Big steaks
(That's the breaks)
We eat-a hominy grits
From a bag
(What a drag)

[Verse 4]
He's got a car made of suede
With a black leather top (Got it made)
If we go out on dates
We go in a box on-a roller skates
[Chorus]
(Well) What about us?
What about us?
Don't wanna cause no fuss
But what about us?

[Outro]
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
What about us?
