Then the Joneses started goin' out on the town And that's when the Joneses started goin' down But we had to keep up with the Joneses So we started makin' the rounds
Then suddenly it happened their love fell apart Now the Joneses aren't the same as before And we couldn't let the Joneses get ahead of us So now we're not us anymore
Now the Joneses is getting ready for the trial Guess we'll follow them in single file 'Coz we've got to keep up with the Joneses Don't you wish that the Joneses would cry
Yes we had to keep up with the Joneses Oh don't you wish that the Joneses would cry
