What About Us Lyrics By The Coasters

    he’s got a house made of glass
    got his own swimming pool
    what a gas
    we’ve got a one room shack
    five by six by the railroad track

    well
    what about us what about us
    don’t wanna cause no fuss
    but what about us

    he’s with a beautiful chick
    every night of the week
    pretty slick
    we’re two poor hung up souls
    girls won’t touch with ten foot poles

    well
    what about us what about us
    don’t wanna cause no fuss
    but what about us

    he goes to eat at the ritz
    big steaks
    that’s the breaks
    we eat our hominy grits
    from a bag
    what a drag

    he’s got a car made of suede
    with a black leather top
    got it made
    if we go out on dates
    we go in a box on our roller skates

    well
    what about us what about us
    don’t wanna cause no fuss
    but what about us

    he goes to eat at the ritz
    big steaks
    that’s the breaks
    we eat our hominy grits
    from a bag
    what a drag

    he’s got a car made of suede
    with a black leather top
    got it made
    if we go out on dates
    we go in a box on our roller skates

    well
    what about us what about us
    don’t wanna cause no fuss
    but what about us
    what about us what about us
