while the poor people sleepin’
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin’
all the stars come out at night
while the poor people sleepin’

at the guernsey fair
i detect the el supremo
from the room at the top of the stairs
well i’ve been around the world
and i’ve been in the washington zoo
and in all my travels
as the facts unravel
i’ve found this to be true
while the poor people sleepin’

while the poor people sleepin’
all the stars come out at night
while the poor people sleepin’
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin’
all the stars come out at night

with the rug inside
they got the booze they need
all that money can buy
they got the shapely bodies
they got the steely dan tshirt
and for the coup de grâce

while the poor people sleepin’
all the stars come out at night
while the poor people sleepin’
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin’
all the stars come out at night

while the poor people sleepin’
with the shade on the light
while the poor people sleepin’
all the stars come out at night
