It's Better Than That
(Lou & Peter Berryman, ©1984)
I got a flash for you kids who think adults are lucky Own their own cars 'n everything's just ducky Goin' to bed whenever they want to If that's what you think, I got a flash for you It's better than that, take Saturday and multiply it Times fifty-four, add thirty more, it's better than that We have a chocolate eclair about as big as your head Way before noon before we get out of bed We do the things you're not allowed to do Then we do things you haven't thought of too Hang on to your hat, hang on to your baloney sandwich Take fifty grand to Disneyland, it's better than that And if you think that our days are extra warm and sunny A pile of toys a pocketful of money With no one to fear because we're big and tall We're never in school because we know it all It's better than that, more comfy than a secret hideout By quite a bit, just think of it, it's better than that And if you think we're not smothered like the Beav and Wally 'n if we want a horse we get a horse by golly If we wanna play we get to play with food If we wanna run we run with scissors nude It's better than that, it's finer than the fastest bicycle A 20-speed velocipede, it's better than that Take fifty grand to Disneyland, it's better than that
