If The Tables Of The World Were Turned Around Lyrics

The horse that does the pullin gets the whippin

And he gets paid off with mighty little hay

And the man that does the workin takes a rakin

While the man that sits around gets all the pay

You read in the papers of a robber

And you hear where they catch one now and then

But the slickest and the shrewdest of all robbers

Does his robbin with a pencil or a pen

And that's one of the things that needs some changin

It would turn this whole wide world upside down

It would change all the realms of society

If the tables of the world were turned around

There are people in influential places

And these people pull a lot of crooked strings

Try to hold the workin man right on rock bottom

While they buy their fancy cars and diamond rings

Well I hope my little song does not offend you

But if it does then there's one thing I know

You can bet your shiny boots and bottom dollar

You have never touched a shovel or a hoe

And that's one of the things that needs some changin

It would turn this wide whole world upside down

It would change all the realms of society

If the tables of the world were turned around

If the tables of the world were turned around
