Jones Boy


G C G I bought a car - a beauty; it was sexy, it was neat. D It made me feel about ten feet tall to turn the ignition key. G C G I bought a brand new barbecue and I put it in my yard, G E A D G And every morning's mail brought another credit card. Em G I am a Jones boy - try keepin' up with me. Em D G I am a Jones boy - no way to keep up with me. Em G I am a Jones boy - try keepin' up with me. Em D G I am a Jones boy - no way to keep up with me.

I bought myself Bermuda shorts; I bought a Nehru coat;
I bought myself a turtleneck shirt; I hung beads around my throat.
I'm right on the top of every trend; there ain't nothing I can't dig.
Now wait until you catch me in my brand new Afro wig.

I am a Jones boy - try keepin' up with me.
I am a Jones boy - no way to keep up with me.
I am a Jones boy - try keepin' up with me.
I am a Jones boy - no way to keep up with me.

Now my refrigerator makes ice cubes and for just nine-hundred more.
It plays the hits in stereo when you open up the door.
My TV set is six feet high and it also dries my hair.
My telephone has a musical tone to tell you I ain't there.

And I am a Jones boy - try keepin' up with me.
I am a Jones boy - no way to keep up with me.
I am a Jones boy - try keepin' up with me.
I am a Jones boy - no way to keep up with me.

(Words and music by Tom Paxton, 1976)
