YUPPIETOWN
(Alistair Hulett)

People who live round here they don't have that much
They make do with things others wouldn't even touch
People who live round here they work in the factory
They don't have to choose they're ruled by necessity

Chorus:
And they better watch out
New breed taking over
Driving us out
Givin' us the old once over
They want to tear the place down
And turn it into Yuppietown

People who live round here remember how it used to be
Natter to yer neighbour on the street or stop in for a cup of tea
People who live round here they like to have a beer and all
But since the old pub changed hands you can't get in in overalls

People who live round here they're gonna have to move out west
Funny how the powers that be always think they know what's best
People who live round here they've got the place in such a state
People who live round here pull down the price of real estate
