Another rich man does the breakin’ the law tango
That’s a slap across the hand, a salida on out the door!
Another poor man does the same thing and gets the dangle
Not enough sway for a second chance, but everybody gets to dance
Now everybody’s up in arms
Everybody out there cryin’
Everybody sayin’ they cannot believe their eyes
What’s gonna surprise you next?
We’re all waiting with bated breath
Is the world is cruel and wild?
My darling summer child
Whatever’s gonna shock you next?
Everybody, they’re taking bets
I got 20 to 1 on a rich man’s son
Doin’ something that he shouldn’ta done
Who woulda guessed?
The company decides to deny your claim again
You had a baby just a month ago
You got no more time in tow
We like to think about the team as family and friends
Until now you’ve helped us grow
Now we’re gonna have to let you go
Now everybody’s up in arms
Everybody pitchin’ signs
Everybody grab a partner, join the line
What’s gonna surprise you next?
We’re all waiting with bated breath
Is the world is cruel and wild?
My darling summer child
Whatever’s gonna shock you next?
Everybody, they’re taking bets
I got 20 to 1 on a rich man’s son
Doin’ what he shouldn’t out’a done
Who woulda guessed?
Now I ain’t sayin’ what’s wrong or right
BABY, WHAT’S RIGHT OR WRONG?
No one’s saying you shouldn’t fight
BABY, YOU GOT ME WRONG
But when they’re dustin’ off their dancin’ shoes
And you’re standing there perplexed…
What’s gonna surprise you next?
We’re all waiting with bated breath
Is the world is cruel and wild?
My darling summer child
Whatever’s gonna shock you next?
Everybody, they’re taking bets
I got 20 to 1 on a rich man’s son
Doin’ what he shouldn’t outa-a done
Who woulda guessed?
