I recently purchased a TEAC 4100X with 3 heads, 3 motors, and a
Sansui 3660, 45 watts per channel, Dolby X, DBX, hi-tech specs,
30 to 20000 hz so I can listen to adult contemporary music …
Cranked up to 3.
In my 3-level attached suburban townhouse with a community pool
And rec room, 495 p.i. year 1 through 3, 795 p.i. years 3 through
35, thousand others in the 3-blocks square, they don’t know I’m
There …
Unless I park in their parking space.
I traded my GTO for a Jap Jet 300 ZX, then a BMW, 5-speed, A/C,
P/B, P/S, 2 bucket seats, sound system hurts my ears, goes fast (55),
Personalized license plate that says «Sparky» (Sparky) (Sparky) …
But it’s in the shop.
[chorus]
Yuppie Drone. Yuppie Drone. Yuppie Drone. Yuppie Drone.
Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup- Yup-
Yuppie Drone
I wake up early with Mister Coffee, jump in the carpool with Fred
And Alice and Charlie so we can drive downtown, predawn, in the
Express lane, HOV-4, 395, 6 a.m., it doesn’t matter …
It still takes an hour to go 5 miles.
I wear a suit and tie but I still have lots of T-shirts that I don’t
Wear — there’s no time. I got out of college and freaked, so I
Grabbed a job with a big corporation that treats me like POOP. But
I don’t care ’cause the pay’s OK and the benefits are great …
Don’t ask me what we make.
[chorus]
Me and my lady-person who I met at the happy hour, 4 to 7, at Chumley’s
Bar downtown during a snowstorm last year. We both love margueritas
And Jimmy Buffet, TOOT, jogging, jacuzzis, and shopping at Dart Drug,
«Compare and Save,» «We will not be undersold.» …
(You Bet!)
I trusted George in ’72, hated Tricky Dicky with a passion, championed
The poor down-trodden masses. Don’t call me middle-class. What’s mine
Is mine. I don’t like war, but the bread is good. Ronnie’s not so bad
As Fritz or Carter’s hicks. Right is new, left is out, twist and shout.
I love my car and house. I love my car and house. I love my car and
House. I love my car and house. I love my car and house. I love my
Car and house. I love my car and house. I love my car and house. I
Love my car and house. I love my car and house. I love my car and
[chorus twice]
Just for reference, «395» is Interstate 395, which runs from the
Interchange of I-95 and the Washington Beltway in Virginia to downtown
Washington, D.C., and like all good urban interstate spurs, is always
Plagued with traffic. During rush hours, there is a carpool lane,
Designated «HOV-4», meaning «High Occupancy Vehicles: minimum 4 persons».
Dart Drug is one of our Capital’s biggest drug chains. They’re open
24 hours, and you might be able to guess their ad slogans.
By the way, if anyone has the lyrics to Yuppiedrone II, …
