Baby's sleeping while its mother sighs

Talking 'bout the rich folks

                  Fm*
Rich folks have the same jokes

And they park in basic places

  So don't tell me about your success

Fm*        G              Cm* 
  Nor your recipes for my happiness

Fm*        G
  Smoke in bed

        Cm*
I never could digest

Fm*                   G             Cm*
  Those illusions you claim to have going

                             Fm*    G*   Cm*
The sun is shining, as it's always done

And only late breast-fed fools believe it

  So don't tell me about your success

Fm*        G              Cm* 
  Nor your recipes for my happiness

  Smoke in bed

        Cm*
I never could digest

Fm*                   G             Cm*
  Those illusions you claim to have going
