westchester county

Singer:loudon wainwright iii

i was raised here in westchester county

i was taught in the country day school

we were richer than most

i don't mean to boast

but i swam in the country club pool

with a father from hewlett

long island

and a mother from tifton

ga

during the war in the marine corps

they met and then married one day

i was raised here in westchester county

my brother

my sisters and i

oh

our dad went to work every day in ny

on a train in a suit and a tie

i remember those coming out parties

where us country club kids had our fun

steal a kiss

cop a feel

off a girl in high heels

oh

we all came in our cumberbuns

i was raised here in westchester county

tennis courts

golf courses galore

by the country club pool at the country day school

i learned manners

oh so much more

i remember those big sunday dinners

round that dining room table we all sat

carve a turkey

a ham

a roast leg of lamb

dinner finished in ten minutes flat

in the country club pool

i was raised here in westchester county

i was taught in the country day school

we were richer than most

i don't mean to boast

but i swam in the country club pool
