Did you ever just want to lay down 

Tell the world you've had enough 

Did you ever just want to drop out 

When the goin' got a little bit rough 

Have you ever walked the sidewalks hungry 

Have you ever really had the blues 

So now you want to see how the other half live 

Well brother whatcha got to lose 



Whatcha got to lose if you leave your home 

And you never think of ever goin' back 

Your father's makin' money for the good of the country 

And your mama's out bettin' at the track 



Camptown ladies sing them songs doo dah doo dah 



Now you gonna to let hair grow long 

Get a little pad uptown 

Throw away your checkbook and all your credit cards 

And use your wits to get around 

And you think it's gonna make you happy 

See your story in the evening news 

And you know its just a game of tryin' to point the blame 

Brother whatcha got to lose 



Chorus: 

Hey lonely Rockefeller Square 

The underground world don't fit a millionaire 

Hey Rocky whatcha gonna do 

First time you've ever had the pressure on you 

But Rock when the rockin' and the bummin' is through 

There'll still be piece of daddy's kingdom for you 



Now Rocky you sure hurt your mama 

And your daddy got an ulcer for a year 

With the stock market shot and the war's still hot 

It sure was a cruel thing to do 



So don't cry boy 



Chorus: 

Hey lonely Rockefeller Square 

Underground life don't fit a millionaire 

Hey Rocky whatcha gonna do 

First time you've ever had the pressure on you 

But Rock when the rockin' and the bummin' is through 

There'll still be piece of daddy's kingdom for you 



Money to pay, money today 

Don't you go gay 

Rocky better pray 



Money today, money to pay 

Don't you go gay 

Rocky better pray 



Money today, money to pay 

Don't you go gay 

Rocky better pray 



Money today, money to pay 

Don't you go gay...
