I used to buy my cufflinks at Cartier
I owned a marble mansion at Oyster Bay
I farmed a thousand acres near Darien
Apples, apples, two for ten
I was the brightest broker at Merrill Lynch
I'd make or drop a bundle and never flinch
Knew Benjamin Cardoza, I called him Ben
Apples, apples, two for ten
We all had butlers, we all had cooks
We all had tailors, we all had looks
Hey, weren't you the Guaranty of Manhattan banks?
You're in my spot there, buddy. Move it. Thanks
Once we were proud as peacocks and smart as whips
Once it was Rรฉmy Martin and filtered tips
Now we're a seedy army of broken men
Apples, apples, two for ten
We sailed to Europe, we rode, we shot
We had three chickens in every pot
Hey, weren't you the owner of that Triple Crown nag?
Before you toss that butt away, give me a drag
They're hiring kitchen helpers at Sweeney's Grill
It ain't ideal employment, it pays a bill
It's anything around, pal, to stay alive
Apples, apples, apples, apples
ย
Two for five!
