[Dennis:] Ow, people gather round me, it´s whom it may concern.
I´m not trying to run your life.

[Melvin:] But you´re never too old to learn, huh.

[Dennis:] Stop worrying about your neighbors and the fancy things they got.
´Cause if you do you´ll find it sure, you´re gonna wind up on the spot.

[Paul:] Huh, you may not believe it but nine times out of ten it´s true.
The people you´re trying to keep up with...

[Melvin:] Are trying to keep up too.

[Eddie:] Remember that old saying, "All that glitters ain´t gold".
Take heed, don´t ignore it until your money time will hold. Oh

[Dennis:] You´re lying to yourself but you don´t even know it.
You´re so busy following the Joneses, you ain´t got time to show it.
Keeping up with the Joneses, it´ll only makes your life a mess.
Bill collectors, tranquilizers and getting deeper in debt.

[Eddie:] You better leave...
[Group:] The Joneses alone.
[Dennis:] Tell ´em one more time.
[Eddie:] You better leave, oh leave...
[Group:] The Joneses alone.

[Otis:] Joneses got a new car today.
[Dennis:] Here´s what you should say...
[Group:] Harray for the Joneses!
[Dennis:] Instead you worry till your whole head turns gray.
[Group:] Worry ´bout the Joneses.

[Melvin] Remember it´s their car and they´re the ones who had to pay.
[Group:] So leave Jo-Jo-Joneses alone.
[Dennis:] Listen, your car might be old, but remember it never fails to get you where you want to go.

[Eddie:] Oh, don´t let the Jones
[Dennis:] Don´t let the Jones
[Melvin:] Don´t let the Joneses
[Group:] Get you down, oh down.

Do-do-do-do-do-do...[etc.]

[Group:] You´re doing fine.
Don´t let the Joneses get you down.
[Paul:] Now listen, if you see something you want and you know you can´t afford it,
The very next thing for you to do is start saving towards it.
[Dennis:] The Joneses have been a downfall for many persons, you see.
So people, take my advice and let the Joneses be. Ow.

[Eddie:] Don´t let the Jones
[Dennis:] Don´t let the Jones
