Don't Let The Joneses Get You Down Lyrics

Ow, people gather round me

It's whom it may concern

I'm not trying to run your life

But you're never too old to learn

Stop worrying about your neighbors

And the fancy things they got

'Cause if you do you'll find it sure

You're gonna wind up on the spot

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Joneses

Get you down, oh down

One more time

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Joneses

Get you down, oh down

You may not believe it

But nine times out of ten it's true

The people you're trying to keep up with

Are trying to keep up too

Remember that old saying

"All that glitters ain't gold"

Take heed, don't ignore it

Until your money time will hold, oh

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Joneses

Get you down, oh down

Hear me now, now

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Joneses

Get you down, oh down

You're lying to yourself

But you don't even know it

You're so busy following the Joneses

You ain't got time to show it

Keeping up with the Joneses

It'll only makes your life a mess

Bill collectors, tranquilizers

And getting deeper in debt

You better leave

The Joneses alone

Tell 'em one more time

You better leave, oh leave

The Joneses alone

Joneses got a new car today

Here's what you should say

Hurray for the Joneses

Instead you worry till your whole head turns gray

Worry 'bout the Joneses

Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to pay

So leave Jo-jo-joneses alone

Listen, your car might be old

But remember it never fails to get you where you want to go

Oh, don't let the Jones

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Joneses

Get you down, oh down

Hear me now, now

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Joneses

Get you down, oh down

You're doing fine

Don't let the Joneses get you down

Now listen, if you see something you want

And you know you can't afford it

The very next thing for you to do is

Start saving towards it

The Joneses have been a downfall

For many persons, you see

So people, take my advice

And let the Joneses be

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Joneses

Get you down, oh down

Hear me now, now

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Jones

Don't let the Joneses

Get you down, oh down

You're doing fine

Don't let the Joneses get you down

You're doing fine

Don't let the Joneses get you down
