jones boy

tom paxton

i bought a car; a beauty

it was sexy

it was neat

it made me feel about ten feet tall

to turn the ignition key

i bought a brand new barbecue

and i put it in my yard

and every morning's mail

brought another credit card

i am a jones boy

try keepin' up with me

i am a jones boy

no way to keep up with me

i am a jones boy

try keepin' up with me

i am a jones boy

no way to keep up with me

i bought myself bermuda shorts

i bought a nehru coat

i bought myself a turtleneck shirt

i hung beads around my throat

i'm right on the top of every trend

there ain't nothing i can't dig

now wait until you catch me

in my brand new afro wig

i am a jones boy

try keepin' up with me

i am a jones boy

no way to keep up with me

i am a jones boy

try keepin' up with me

i am a jones boy

no way to keep up with me

now my refrigerator makes ice cubes

and for just nine-hundred more

it plays the hits in stereo

when you open up the door

my tv set is six feet high

and it also dries my hair

my telephone has a musical tone

to tell you i ain't there

and i am a jones boy

try keepin' up with me

i am a jones boy

no way to keep up with me

i am a jones boy

try keepin' up with me

i am a jones boy

no way to keep up with me
