What About Us Lyrics

What About Us:The Coasters.
#47 on BB Hot 100 on ATCO
in 1959.
#1.
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.
CHORUS:
Well, what about us..what about us?....don't wanna cause no
fuss but what about us?
#2.
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 a 10-foot
pole.
CHORUS:
What about us?..what about us?..don't wanna cause no fuss..
but what about us?
BRIDGE:
He goes to eat at the Ritz..big steaks..(that's the breaks!)
We eat hominy grits..from a bag..(what a drag!)
#3.
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 roller skates.
CHORUS:
What about us?..what about us?..don't wanna cause no fuss..
but what about us?
INTERLUDE: A E Em E B E A..A E Em E A
BRIDGE:
He goes to eat at the Ritz..big steaks..(that's the breaks!)
We eat hominy grits..from a bag..(what a drag!)
#4.
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 roller skates.
CHORUS:
What about us?..what about us?..don't wanna cause no fuss..
but what about us?
OUTRO:
What about us?..what about us?..but what about us?..what about us?..(Fade.)
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
