| | Allentown (12 Gardens Live) Lyrics Artist(Band):Billy Joel
Well, we're living here in Allentown And they're closing all the factories down Out in Bethlehem they're killing time, filling out forms, standing in line Well, our fathers fought the Second World War Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore…Met our mothers in the USO Asked them to dance, danced with them slow And we're living here in Allentown But the restlessness was handed down And it's getting very hard to stay, hey hey hey, whoa oh…Ssssh! Ugh! Ha! Well, we're waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave, if we worked hard, if we behaved So the graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No, they never taught us what was real Iron & Coke & chromium steel, and we're waiting here in Allentown But they've taken all the coal from the ground And the union people crawled away, hey hey hey Every child had a pretty good shot To get at least as far as their old man got But something happened on the way to that place They threw an American Flag in our fa-a-a-ace Wo ho...Ssssh! Ugh! Ha! Well, I'm living here in Allentown & it's hard to keep a good man down But I won't be getting up today, hey hey hey Hey, hey, hey, whoa oh, ssssh! Ugh! Ha! And it's getting very hard to stay And we're living here in Allentown If you find some error in Allentown (12 Gardens Live) Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.
