Lyrics

Yuppie Song © 1985 Kevin Mahan

I?m a Young Urban Professional
I own everything that money can buy
All my action are institutional
I succeed at everything I try

Got a cat and a wife and a dog and a boy
And everything in life is just fine
The gardner comes on Wed and the maid on thursday
And Monday is the butler?s free time

A job secure
Lifestyle pure
Church every week
I?m at my peak
Young Ur Ur ban Pro o o fessional

I got a diamond ring and crystal things
A porcelain beday and a silver tray
Manicure toes and theatre shows
And picnic with the kid on Sundays

A commador computer with two floppy discs
And a video cassette recorder
A color tv with remote control
And the satellite dish is on order

A job secure
Lifestyle pure
Church every week
I?m at my peak
Young Ur Ur ban Pro o o fessional

Master card and visa and American express
I. Mangum Neiman Marcus and Macy?s
Doctor dentist lawyer and a CPA
Masseuse and a shrink who?s crazy

Country club and debutante and PTA
Trying for some more control
Neighborhood parks with no neighborhood sparks
Because of neighborhood watch patrol

Yea, I had a BMW but I traded it in on a Mercedes
And the wife drives a Volvo station wagon
I eat well and take lots of vitamins
All my friends are super?just beautiful people.

We talk about feelings and read psychology books.
Do a little meditation and watch the dow industrial average
I got a portfolio of diversified investments
You know, gold bonds stocks CD?s IRA profit sharing
