[Chorus]
Everybody want what they don't got
People alway want what they should not
If they got nothin' or if they got a lot
Everybody want what they don't got, oh

[Verse 1]
Sweet Sarah Succotash saw a silver scarf
Can you guess what sweet Sarah Succotash wants?
She used her last penny to buy a Jack Benny album
For the stupid jokes nobody got, oh

[Chorus]
Ooh, I really like what my neighbor's drivin'
No, I don't care how long he been strivin'
I guess I just want it 'cause people think it's hot
Everybody want what they don't got, oh

[Verse 2]
Don't be deceived by your greedy heart
It could be the devil in disguise
Check the ingredients before you start
One day they all could change in front of your eyes

[Chorus]
Everybody want what they don't got
People always want what they should not
If they got nothin' or if they got a lot
Everybody want what they don't got, oh
[Outro]
Yeah, you know, I really had my eye on that sprinkler system of yours
And I was figuring since you don't ever use it...
