Rosedale, Toronto House
http://unionsong.com/u466.mp3
Woke up this mornin' wonderin' why I was so poor
Didn't have no money to step outside the door.
So, I wandered downtown into the Stock Exchange
Told the boys there that I sure would like a change.
I said "I wanna be a Right-winger now,
I don't like Socialists no-how!
I'll study real hard, to be an M.B.A.
I'll vote Neo-con till I'm in my marble grave."
Well, they looked at me funny & they laughed out loud a lot.
Someone muttered something nasty 'bout a leopard changin' spots.
But I said I'd be back with a new haircut & suit,
They gave me a hundred bucks & they said I was real cute.
I said, I wanna be a Right-winger now,
I want to have that Rosedale house.
I'll drive my Porsche around, with a cell phone in my hand,
I'll hang with rich men's daughters in the best clubs in the land.
Well, I walked to Harry Rosen's to buy me that new suit.
They looked me up & down & they gave me the boot
I yelled "I have a hundred, from the Stock Exchange."
They handed me a necktie and fifty cents change.
I said, I wanna be a Right-winger now,
I'm gonna make my mark somehow,
They said, "Here's a broom you can sweep the men's room,
But don't talk to the gentlemen, your speech is much too rude."
A sadder, wiser man is standing here tonight.
They don't want me in their clubs & that MBA's a crime!
The girls up at Holt's threw me out into the street.
When I landed on the curb that Porsche squashed my feet.
Now I want to bring those right wingers down!
They know nothing more than scorn & put-downs!
They got no brains, got no sense, just a big, fat inheritance,
Their daddy stole from your daddy & his pals.
(Highway robbery Capitalism!)
