This song by The Berrymans explains what it’s really like to be a grown-up. David had to dust off his trumpet for the recording, and Grant added a really cool New Orleans “ricky-tick” style of drumming.
I got a flash for you kids who think adults are lucky Own their own cars and everything's just ducky Goin' to bed whenever they want to If that's what you think I got a flash for you
(Chorus:) It's better than that Take Saturday and multiply it Times 54, add 30 more It's better that that
We eat a chocolate eclair about the size of your head Just before noon before we get out of bed We do the things you're not allowed to do Then we do things you haven't thought of too
(Chorus 2:) Hang on to your hat Hang on to your baloney sandwich Take 50 grand, to Disneyland It's better than that
And If you think that our days are extra warm and sunny A pile of toys a pocketful of money With no one to fear because we're big and tall We're never in school because we know it all
(Chorus 3:) It's better than that More comfy than a secret hideout By quite a bit, just think of it It's better than that
(Tag:) Take 50 grand, to Disneyland It's better than that Times 54, add 30 more It's better that that!
