A Human Named David - Movin' on Up Lyrics

Well now Bobby got a job
Selling insurance
So we're headed to the park
We're gonna celebrate that
He's got his briefcase packed
With a brand new jacket
Singin' "life is but a dream"
Now tell me how'd you like that

Well now Bobby wouldn't have that job
If it wasn't for Joanna
See she kicked him out the house
And told him get it on track
He's got his hair slicked back
With a brand new jacket
Singin' "life is but a dream"
Now tell me how'd you like that

You see he's movin' on up
Down in America
Yeah he's movin' on up
Down in America

Well now Becky finished school
See she's in her early forties
Yeah she had a couple habits
That she couldn't quite sack
She's got a brand new BA
In a frame above her mattress
Singin' "llfe is but a dream"
Now tell me how'd you like that

Well now Becky wouldn't have graduated
If it wasn't for her Mama
She said "break up with that boy"
And told her get it on track
She's got an interview tomorrow
With a start up company
Singin' "life is but a dream"
Now tell me how'd you like that

You see she's movin' on up
Down in America
Yeah she's movin' on up
Down in America

We're movin' on up
Down in America
We're movin' on up
Down in America

Well now Thomas loves the song
That I've written for my father
I said, "yeah that song's for him
But tell me how'd you know that"
He said, "I'd write it for my Dad
If he was around a little longer
So we'll sing your song together
Now tell me how'd you like that"

So now we're movin' on up
Down in America
We're movin' on up
Down in America
