Lyrics:

Some get the gravy, some get the gristleSome get the marrow boneSome get nothing though there's plenty to spareSome watch the paint peel, some watch their kids growSome watch their stocks and bondsWaiting for that big deal American DreamTook my dream down by the seaSailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshineLogs and sails and shell oil pailsDown where the waterskiers glideSome turn to Elvis, some turn to AfricaSome turn to rambling roundFor a clean sky and a drinking streamWho let the greedy in ?Who left the needy out ?Who made the salty sea ?Tell them we're hungry for a sweeter fareTook my dream down by the seaSailing yachts and lobster pots and sunshineLogs and sails and shell oil pailsDown where the waterskiers glideSome get the gravy, some get the gristleSome get the marrow boneSome get nothing though there's plenty to spareSome watch the paint peel, some watch their kids growSome watch their stocks and bondsWaiting for that big deal American Dream
