Problems of the World Today....ay

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 morning for to drive in my car

The 'old horse and buggy' I should say it is

Compared to the new car of Mr. Jones

When my car is twelve years older than his



I'll just live in my house and I'll be alright

The old Caddilac still gets me around

Turn on the phonograph and listen to a song

Titled "Don't Let the Joneses Get You Down"



Problems Envious

Problems Jealousy

Problems We got too many

Problems of the world today-ay-ay
