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

[00:00:34] People gather round me...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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