歌曲名 Jerry Was A Clerk

歌手名 Andy Shauf

Me and a couple friends we had a big idea

About getting money and getting out of here

We were wide-eyed dreamers of wealth

We were getting tired of killing time

Filling up our heads with cheap wine

Jerry had a van so we could make our escape

He would say 'boys our time

Has come to live among the privileged ones'

Now it was jerry's plan but we all agreed

Skip town and split the money up evenly

Lay low 'til the winter rolled in

He said i know an old farmer

Doesn't trust the bank

Keeps his money buried out

Behind his water tank

He told me once when

He was out of his mind

'Oh boys our time has come to live among

the privileged ones'

Now jerry had a girl the only one of us

To ever have one last

And so no questions asked

She'd be the fourth one involved

Her name was mary-anne

And she was nice enough

Always a cashier only once in love

With jerry - the dreamer and the clerk

Who said 'boys our time has

Come to live among the privileged ones'

So on that friday night on

Which we all agreed

We took our shovels

And crept out carefully

Through the farmyard darker than sin

The plan went off without a hitch

'Til we passed the chicken

Coop and mary tripped

Turned the hens to sirens in the night

And when the farmhouse lights turned on

A warning shot rang out into the dawn

And we ran like hell for jerry's van

But when we arrived we were only three

And while jerry's greed fed gas to the engine

His words showed us a coward we'd never seen

As he said boys our time has come

We're going to save ourselves and

Live among the privileged ones
