Chicken Every Sunday

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Just because all my dresses are just cotton hand-me-downs His family calls me the lower class 'Cause we're only poor folks on the other side of town They won't let him walk up my path [Verse 2] But my mama says, "Don't worry when they say those things about you You remember you're just as good as him Just because they got that big house sitting way up on the hill Why, you don't have to look up to them" [Chorus] We've got chicken every Sunday and the preacher comes around And every Saturday morning, daddy takes us all to town And we go to the picture show, have picnics on the ground Oh, if that's the lower class, then I'm glad that's what I am [Verse 3] 'Cause my mama don't belong to the ladies social set And my daddy can't afford the country club His folks look down on me and they won't let us date 'Cause they think that I'm not good enough [Verse 4] But my mama says, "Forget him, honey, he ain't worth it all And if anything, you're too good for him Just because they got money and a big fine house Why, we won't take no sass off of them" [Chorus] We've got chicken every Sunday and the preacher comes around And every Saturday morning, my daddy takes us all to town And we go to the picture show, have picnics on the ground Oh, if that's the lower class, then I'm glad that's what I am [Outro] We've got chicken every Sunday and the preacher comes around And every Saturday morning, my daddy takes us into town And we go to the picture show
