Gray Flannel Suits - Echolyn

I’m pleased as punch with my new house in New Canaan

Connecticut

At night the street lights shine off my other new things…

Like a lime-green Ford coupe, pink flamingoes

Martini glasses that shimmer all weekend

But it’s gray in suburbia

See my fresh-painted homestead for me and my homemaking wife

She’s the luckiest girl around because of what I provide…

Like hi-fis and a modern kitchen

We keep in the swim with all of our neighbors

But it’s gray in suburbia

Working for 10 or 12 hours flat

I got a look-alike hat, and I don’t care

Working for 10 or 12 hours to boot

I got a look-alike suit, and I don’t care

Sloan Wilson said it best

«We're all men in grey flannel suits»

Looking like soldiers we line up to climb aboard our daily

Trains…

Aspiring young workers with college diplomas

Your prospects are great and excellent for success

Excellent for success

But it’s gray in suburbia
