Don't Let The Joneses Get You Down - The Temptations[00:00:00]

People gather round me [00:00:34]

This is to who it may concern[00:00:35]

I'm not tryin' to run your life[00:00:37]

But you're never too old to learn[00:00:40]

Stop worryin' about your neighbors[00:00:42]

And the fancy things they got[00:00:44]

'Cause if you do you'll find it's true [00:00:45]

You're gonna wind up on the spot[00:00:47]

Don't let the Jones Don't let the Jones [00:00:50]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:00:52]

Don't let the Jones Don't let the Jones [00:00:58]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:01:00]

You may not believe it but nine times out of ten it's true[00:01:14]

The people you're tryin' to keep up with are tryin' to keep up too[00:01:18]

Remember that old sayin';[00:01:22]

"All that glitters ain't gold"[00:01:23]

Take heed don't ignore it [00:01:26]

And to your money tightly hold[00:01:27]

Don't let the Jones Don't let the Jones [00:01:30]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:01:32]

Don't let the Jones Don't let the Jones [00:01:38]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:01:40]

You're a leader yourself but you don't even know it[00:01:56]

You're so busy followin' Joneses[00:01:59]

You ain't got time to show it[00:02:02]

Keeping up with the Joneses [00:02:03]

It only makes your life a mess[00:02:05]

Bill collectors tranquilizers and gettin' deeper in debt[00:02:08]

You better leave the Joneses alone[00:02:11]

You better leave ---oh leave--- the Joneses alone[00:02:19]

Joneses got a new car today[00:02:28]

Here's what you should say; Hooray for the Joneses[00:02:30]

Instead you worry 'til your whole head turns gray[00:02:36]

Worryin' about the Joneses[00:02:40]

Remember it's their car and they're the ones who had to pay[00:02:43]

So leave (boom boom) the Joneses alone[00:02:48]

Your car might be old but remember;[00:02:52]

It never fails to get you where you want to go[00:02:56]

Don't let the Jones Don't let the Jones [00:03:00]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:03:02]

Don't let the Jones Don't let the Jones [00:03:08]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:03:10]

You're doing fine[00:03:31]

Don't let the Joneses blow your mind[00:03:34]

If you see somethin' you want and[00:03:39]

You know you can't afford it[00:03:42]

Well the very next thing for you to do[00:03:43]

Is start saving towards it[00:03:45]

The Joneses have been the downfall of[00:03:47]

Many a person you see[00:03:49]

So people take my advice and let the Joneses be[00:03:51]

Don't let the Jones Don't let the Jones [00:03:56]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:03:58]

Don't let the Jones Don't let the Jones [00:04:04]

Don't let the Joneses get you down[00:04:06]

You're doing fine[00:04:11]

Don't let the Joneses blow your mind[00:04:14]

You're doing fine[00:04:19]

Don't let the Joneses blow your mind[00:04:21]
