| | Allentown Lyrics Artist(Band):Billy Joel
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 at 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 staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay aaaaaaah aaahhhhh ooooooooh ooooooh ohhhhhhh. 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 or 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 awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaah. Every child had a pretty good shot To get at least as far as their old man got. If something happened on the way to that place They threw an American flag in our face, oh oh oh. Well I'm living here in Allentown And it's hard to keep a good man down. But I won't be getting up todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah. GUITAR SOLO aaaaaaah aaaaaaah aaaaaaah oh oh oh. And it's getting very hard to staaaaaaaaaaaaaay. And we're living here in Allentown.
