next door is the big house owned by the joneses
next to the little brown shack that's owned by me
i get so mad every time that i see 'em
so i guess deep down that's called ENvy

i walk out every mornin' for to drive in my car
the ol' horse and buggy, i should say it is
com-pared to the new car of mr. jones
when my car is 12 years older than his

but i'll live in my house and i'll be alright
cuz the old cadillac still gets me around
put on the phonograph and listen to a song
entitled "don't let the joneses get you down"

(problems) jealousy
(problems) envious
(problems) we got too many
problems of the world today -ay -ay
