Yuppies in the Sky
Lyricist:Tom Paxton
As I went out one evening down Columbus Avenue The sushi bars were shuttered and the dark cantinas too I stood there in the darkness as an empty cab rolled by When all at once I heard the sound of yuppies in the sky
But herd came down Columbus for as far as I could see The men were wearing polo and the women wore esprit Each yuppie had a Walkman and as each one passed me by I saw their sad expressions and I heard their mournful cry
Condos for sale, condos to buy for yuppies in the sky Condos for sale, condos to buy for yuppies in the sky
Each one was wearing running shoes upon the ghostly deck And each one had a cotton sweater wrapped around the neck They all held out their credit cards and tried in vain to buy But all the stores were shuttered to the yuppies in the sky

I'd seen them in commercials sailing boats and playing ball Pouring beer for one another crying, 'Why not have it all' Now I saw their ghostly progress down Columbus Avenue I heard their cry for mercy and it chilled me through and through
Condos for sale, condos to buy for yuppies in the sky
All the salad bars were empty, all the quiche Lorraine was gone I heard the yuppies crying as they vanished in the dawn Calling brand names to each other as they faded from my view They'd be networking forever down Columbus Avenue
