Aboard the boat in nineteen-and-oh-two I met you girl, I fell in love with you And when we reached a new land of our own We wed and raised a family in our home Our children left the land we came to till They earned their keep by toiling at the mill They bought a house down there in the city They fixed it up and tried to keep it pretty <INTSRUMENTAL> And then the baby boomers filled the land And TV ads were driving up demand For useless toys to keep the babys busy Now tossing in my grave is making me feel dizzy Hey now, my nose is our of joint I didn't do all of this for nothing Wasn't there a point? Hey now, hold up and settle down I didn't sail across the planet To raise a bunch of clowns I toss and turn above the warming sea I never guessed that this is how it'd be I tried to make life better for my clan A pioneer opening new land <INTSRUMENTAL> |
