MIDDLE CLASS LIFE IS THE BEST OF ALL
(Bob Coltman)

As I was a-walking one morning in Spring,
Spied a pretty plowboy who sweetly did sing,
And the song he sang as the clods did fall,
The middle class life is the best of all.

The pretty little milkmaid come walkin' along,
Heard the pretty plowboy a singin' his song,
She down with her pail and so sweetly did call,
"Oh, the middle class life is the best of all."

The little swine herder come herding his swine,
"I'd tell you what I'd do if these swine was mine,
I'd form a ham company, rob Peter, pay Paul,
For, the middle class life is the best of all."

The birds in the meadow so sweetly did sing,
The beasts with their burdens made the valleys all ring,
The fox in his burrow, the roach in the wall,
Sang, "the middle class life is the best of all."

So how can you doubt it when all do agree,
And one and all shout it from meadow and tree,
As they bar-B-Q, mow, jog and play racketball,
"Oh, the middle class life is the best of all."
