text: Some get the gravy, some get the gristle
  Some get the marrow bone
  Some get nothing though theres plenty to spare
  Some watch the paint peel, some watch their kids grow
  Some watch their stocks and bonds
  Waiting for that big deal American Dream
  Took my dream down by the sea
  Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine
  Logs and sails and shell oil pails
  Down where the waterskiers glide
  Some turn to Elvis, some turn to Africa
  Some turn to rambling round
  For a clean sky and a drinking stream
  Who let the greedy in? Who left the needy out?
  Who made the salty sea?
  Tell them were hungry for a sweeter fare
  Took my dream down by the sea
  Sailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshine
  Logs and sails and shell oil pails
  Down where the waterskiers glide
