[Verse 1]
Me and my wife went all over town
And everywhere we went people turned us down
Lord, in a bourgeois town
Ooh, It's a bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around

[Verse 2]
Come all of you people and listen to me
Don't try to buy no home in Washington, DC
'Cause it's a bourgeois town
Ooh, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around

[Verse 3]
Home of the brave, land of the free
I don't wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie
Lord, it's a bourgeois town
Ooh, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
