I can hear young yuppies yellin',
"The blues just ain't for me"
But if you're drivin' a taxi,
And you got a PhD
You got the blues, young yuppy
Sometimes you have 'em every day
There ain't no doubt about it,
Sometimes it be that way

Your Visa's at the limit,
Your Mastercard is too,
Your second mortgage payment
On your condo's overdue
You got the blues, young yuppy
Sometimes you have 'em every day
There ain't no doubt about it,
Sometimes it be that way

(solos)
You're thirto-two and holding
Things are going from bad to worse
You better hug it while you can
There ain't no luggage on the hearse
You got the blues, young yuppy
Sometimes you have 'em every day
There ain't no doubt about it,
Sometimes it be that way

Sometimes it be that way
Sometimes it be that way
Sometimes it be that way
Sometimes it be that way
(all together:) Sometimes it be that way
(etc. till fade)
