Lyrics
Gray Flannel Suits
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm pleased as punch with my new house in New Canaan,
Connecticut
At night the street lights shine off my other new things...
Like a lime-green Ford coupe, pink flamingoes,
martini glasses that shimmer all weekend
But it's gray in suburbia
See my fresh-painted homestead for me and my homemaking wife
She's the luckiest girl around because of what I provide...
Like hi-fis and a modern kitchen
We keep in the swim with all of our neighbors
But it's gray in suburbia
Working for 10 or 12 hours flat
I got a look-alike hat, and I don't care
Working for 10 or 12 hours to boot
I got a look-alike suit, and I don't care
Sloan Wilson said it best
"We're all men in grey flannel suits"
Looking like soldiers we line up to climb aboard our daily
trains...
Aspiring young workers with college diplomas
Your prospects are great and excellent for success
Excellent for success
But it's gray in suburbia
