SPLIT LEVEL FAMILIES
________________________________________
WORD AND MUSIC BY JERRY CAESAR COPYWRITE 2004 301-297-7400
MOMMY’S GOING OUT FOR DINNER AGAIN TONIGHT,
DADDY’S AT THE BAR AND SOMETHING’S NOT RIGHT.
THEY GOT TOGETHER AND MADE THIS FAMILY,
BUT THEY BOTH FORGOT WHERE THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO BE.
ALL OF US KIDS…YEAH WE KNOW THE TRUTH,
BOTH OF OUR PARENTS ARE LIVING THEIR SECOND YOUTH.
DAD WILL CALL THE SITTER WHO LIVES REAL NEAR,
SHE’LL CALL ON HER BOYFRIEND WHEN THE COAST IS CLEAR.
CHOURUS
SPLIT LEVEL FAMILIES…IN MIDDLE CLASS HOMES,
WE ALL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH OUR CELLULAR PHONES.
SPLIT LEVEL FAMILIES…ITS AN AMRERICAN THING,
RED WHITE AND BLUE TRADITION…WITHOUT THE WEDDING RING.
2ND VERSE
MOMMY’S UPSTAIRS WITH HER BOYFRIEND WHO STAYED HERE LAST NIGHT,
DADDY’S DOWNSTAIRS WITH A GIRL HE CALLS HIS NEW WIFE.
WE KIDS DON’T LIKE THE WAY THE TAKE UP OUR SPACE,
THEY DON’T LIKE TO LOOK IN REALITY’S FACE.
CHOURUS
SPLIT LEVEL FAMILIES…WE’RE AMERICAN MADE,
WE’RE ON TV AND MOVIES..A REAL SOCIAL CHARADE.
SPLIT LEVEL FAMILIES…AS WE’RE COMMONLY KNOWN,
THERE’S LIGHTS IN OUR WINDOWS…BUT NO ONE’S AT HOME……
LEAD BREAK
CHOURUS
SPLIT LEVEL FAMILIES…COME JOIN OUR PARADE,
BOTH MOMMY AND DADDY ARE BUSY TRYIN’ TO GET MADE.
SPLIT LEVEL FAMILIES …WE’LL MAKE IT THROUGH.
IT’S ALL TOO CONVENIENT…BUT UNFORTUNEATLY TRUE.
SPLIT LEVEL FAMILIES…IT’S AN AMERICAN THING,
RED WHITE AND BLUE TRADITION…WITHOUT THE WEDDING RING.
SPLIT LEVEL FAMILIES…IN MIDDLE CLASS HOMES,
WE ALL KEEP IN TOUCH WITH CELLULAR PHONES…………
