Tom Paxton Follow

The sushi bars were shuttered and the dark cantinas too
I stood there in the darkness as an empty cab rolled by
When all at once I heard the sound of yuppies in the sky

But herd came down Columbus for as far as I could see
The men were wearing polo and the women wore esprit
Each yuppie had a Walkman and as each one passed me by
I saw their sad expressions and I heard their mournful cry

Condos for sale, condos to buy for yuppies in the sky
Condos for sale, condos to buy for yuppies in the sky

Each one was wearing running shoes upon the ghostly deck
And each one had a cotton sweater wrapped around the neck
They all held out their credit cards and tried in vain to buy
But all the stores were shuttered to the yuppies in the sky

Condos for sale, condos to buy for yuppies in the sky
Yuppie

I'd seen them in commercials sailing boats and playing ball
Pouring beer for one another crying, "Why not have it all"
Now I saw their ghostly progress down Columbus Avenue
I heard their cry for mercy and it chilled me through and through

Condos for sale, condos to buy for yuppies in the sky

All the salad bars were empty, all the quiche Lorraine was gone
I heard the yuppies crying as they vanished in the dawn
Calling brand names to each other as they faded from my view
They'd be networking forever down Columbus Avenue
