Intro:
– – –

Come to the din-ner gong
The ta-ble is lad-en high
Fat bel-lies and hun-gry little ones
Tuck your napkins in and take your share
Some get the gra-vy
And some get the gris-tle
Some get the mar-row bone
And some get noth- ing
Though there’s plen-ty to spare
I took my share down by the sea
Pa-per plates and Ja- -vex bottles on the tide
Em7sus4
Seagulls come down and they squawk at me
[/ – 3x] /
Down where the wa- - - ter ski- ers glide
Some turn to Je-sus
And some turn to her-o-in
Some turn to ramb-ling ‘round
Looking for a clean sky
And a drink-ing stream
Some watch the paint peel off
Some watch their kids grow up
Some watch their stocks and bonds
Waiting for that big deal A-mer-i- -can dream
I took my dream down by the sea
Yan-kee yachts and lob- ster pots
And sunshine and logs and sails
Em7sus4
And Shell Oil pails
Dogs and tugs and sum- mer-time
Back in the ban-quet line
/ /
An- - -gry young people cry- ing
“Who let the greed-y in
And who left the need-y out?
Who made this salt-y
Tell ‘em we’re very hungry now
For a sweet-er fare”
In the cookie I read,
“Some get the gra-vy
And some get the gris-tle
Some get the mar-row bone
And some get noth- ing
/
Though there’s plen-ty to spare”
