Hunky Dory Lyrics

Our job's a lot to juggle, the economy's a struggle

So we cuddle through the chilly winter nights

Seems the bank won't take romance in lieu of an advance

And our love doesn't power all the lights

Some people have everything

Born with a silver spoon

But those folks don't have everything

They ain't got you

Our TV gets no channels, and our radio's a brick

And our ice cream melted in the sun and we don't care a lick

Just our luck, the oven's stuck, we burnt the apple pie

But it's always hunky dory, when it's just you and I

The to-dos are getting longer, the pollutions getting stronger

And our bills are in a pile by the door

So we put all our quarters in a jam jar for the laundry

And our dreams at the bottom of a drawer

Some people have a diamond ring

And eyes in a diamond hue

But those folks don't have everything

They don't get to look at you

So the neighbors wear fine linen we wear polyester blend

And the only place our car can drive us is around the bend

Just our luck, that's our last buck, but we don't ever cry

'Cause it's awfully hunky dory, when it's just you and I

But eventually reality sets in like the night

When you need more than a buddy to muddle through this life

And you'll find someone more practical to get ya through the grey

And you'll hold on to the memories, until they fade away

And we didn't have forever, but we had today

And for the price that's awfully nice

So call it too pragmatic, call it conscience, call it greed

Both of us had nothing, but had everything we need

Just our luck, the clock just struck, looks like we're outta time

It was awfully hunky dory, when it was you and I
