Jimmy Buffett
Rockefeller Square
Written by - Jimmy Buffett & Buzz Cason
From - High Cumberland Jubilee
Did you ever just want to lay down 
Tell the world you've had enough 
Did you ever just want to drop out 
When the goin' got a little bit rough 
Have you ever walked the sidewalks hungry 
Have you ever really had the blues 
So now you want to see how the other half live 
Well brother whatcha got to lose 

Whatcha got to lose if you leave your home 
And you never think of ever goin' back 
Your father's makin' money for the good of the country 
And your mama's out bettin' at the track 

Camptown ladies sing them songs doo dah doo dah 

And now you gonna let your hair grow long 
Get a little pad uptown 
Throw away your checkbook and all your credit cards 
And use your wits to get around 
And you think it's gonna make you happy 
See your story in the evening news 
And you know it's just a game of tryin' to point the blame
Brother whatcha got to lose 

Chorus: 
Hey lonely Rockefeller Square 
The underground world don't fit a millionaire 
Hey Rocky whatcha gonna do 
First time you've ever had the pressure on you 
But Rock when the rockin' and the bummin' is through 
There'll still be a piece of daddy's kingdom for you 

Now Rocky you sure hurt your mama 
And your daddy got an ulcer for a year 
With the stock market shot and the war's still hot 
It sure was a cruel thing to do 

So don't cry boy 

Chorus

Money to pay, money today 
Don't you go gay 
Rocky better pray 

Money today, money to pay 
Don't you go gay 
Rocky better pray
(Repeat to fade)
