philip labes - hunky dory lyrics

[verse 1]
our job’s a lot to juggle
the economy’s a struggle
so we cuddle through the chilly winter nights
seems the bank won’t take romance in lieu of an advance
and our love doesn’t power all the lights

[refrain]
some people have everything
born with a silver spoon
but those folks don’t have everything
they ain’t got you
[verse 2]
our tv gets no channels
and our radio’s a brick
and our ice cream melted in the sun and we don’t care a l!ck
just our luck, the oven’s stuck, we burnt the apple pie
but it’s always hunky+dory when it’s just you and i

[verse 3]
the to+dos are getting longer, the pollution’s getting stronger
and our bills are in a pile by the door
so we put all our quarters in a jam jar for the laundry
and our dreams at the bottom of a drawer

[refrain]
some people have a diamond ring
and eyes in a diamond hue
but those folks don’t have everything
they don’t get to look at you

[verse 4]
so the neighbors wear fine linen, we wear polyester blend
and the only place our car can drive us is around the bend
just our luck, that’s our last buck, but we don’t ever cry
it’s awfully hunky+dory when it’s just you and i

[bridge]
but eventually reality sets in like the night
when you need more than a buddy to muddle through this life
and you’ll find someone more practical to get ya through the grey
and you’ll hold on to the memories, until they fade away
and we didn’t have forever, but we had today
and for the price
that’s awfully nice
[verse 5]
so call it too pragmatic, call it conscience, call it greed
both of us had nothin’, but had everything we need
just our luck, the clock just struck, looks like we’re outta time
it was awfully hunky dory, when it was you and i
