Verse 1:
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm, I should have
listened to my old man.
You know you can't hold me forever,
I didn't sign up with you.
I'm not a present for your friends to open,
This boy's too young to be singing the
blues... Ah...... Ah....
Chorus:
So Goodbye yellow brick road,
where the dogs of society howl.
You can't plant me in your penthouse,
- quick
I'm going back to my plough.
Back to the howling old owl in the woods,
Hunting the horny back toad.
-
... Oh I've finally decided, my future lies,
Beyond the yellow brick
road... Ah..... Ah......
Verse 2:
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'll shoot down your plane.
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics,
to set you on your feet again.
Maybe you'll get a replacement,
There's plenty like me to be found.
Mongrels who ain't got a penny,
Sniffing for tit-bits like you on the
ground... Ah.... Ah....
Repeat Chorus
