All the city kids, they had it better than us
They got to go have fun the minute school was done, they didn't ride the bus
All the city kids, they had brand new Schwinn's
Ours had rusty tires held together with pliers and some cotter pins
All the city kids, they never did no chores
We were bailing hay, milking twice a day. They were making S'Mores
All the city kids . . . All the city kids . . . All the city kids
All the kids, they had their own TVs
Had carpet on the stairs, they had beanbag chairs, they kept diaries
All the city kids, they had fluffy little dogs
A dog that sits and begs, a dog with all four legs, didn't smell like hogs
All the city kids
had fancy clothes
All the city kids
looked down their nose, back then.
But that was way back when
Now all the city kids, they have become adults
They want to be someone, they want to get things done, they want to get results
They want organic fruit, they want organic meat
Come to the city park, it's called the farmer's market, and it fills the street
And our food is good, but our price is steep
It takes them by surprise, I see them blink their eyes, I see them nearly weep
But we were just 4-H; we were the FFA
High time they learned, how the tables turned -- Now they're gonna pay
All the city kids . . . . All the city kids
