lyrics
“What school should Lorelei attend?
Should she have a postal worker’s daughter for a friend?
Yes, we’ve got an old Aprica stroller we could lend,
Or rent, or sell.”
While the yuppie parents
Are twice concerned
To hang on to what they’ve got,
And the yuppie tot is not.
And the yuppie folks
Are hammering tooth and nail claw
To get her in the choicest spot.
But the yuppie tot is not.
And the yuppie tot is not.
No, the yuppie tot is not.
No, the yuppie tot is not. Nah-ah!
She‘s smiling at daisies.
Someday, she’ll be using lasers.
By the time she’s driving them crazy,
Baby, times’ll need a changin’.
Oh, now, the yuppie parents
Gonna break some neck
To see she learns what they forgot.
The yuppie tot is not.
And the yuppie tot is not.
No, the yuppie knot's not taught.
And the yuppie tot is not alone.
Should she have a postal worker’s daughter for a friend?
Yes, we’ve got an old Aprica stroller we could lend,
Or rent, or sell.”
While the yuppie parents
Are twice concerned
To hang on to what they’ve got,
And the yuppie tot is not.
And the yuppie folks
Are hammering tooth and nail claw
To get her in the choicest spot.
But the yuppie tot is not.
And the yuppie tot is not.
No, the yuppie tot is not.
No, the yuppie tot is not. Nah-ah!
She‘s smiling at daisies.
Someday, she’ll be using lasers.
By the time she’s driving them crazy,
Baby, times’ll need a changin’.
Oh, now, the yuppie parents
Gonna break some neck
To see she learns what they forgot.
The yuppie tot is not.
And the yuppie tot is not.
No, the yuppie knot's not taught.
And the yuppie tot is not alone.
