   I was supposed to have been a Jesuit priest or a Naval Academy grad
  That was the way that my parents perceived me
  Those were the plans that they had
  But I couldn't fit the part too dumb or too smart
  Ain't it funny how we all turned out
  I guess we are the people our parents warned us about
  
  You know I coulda worked the rigs when the money was big
  Or hopped a freighter south to Trinidad
  And when they tried to draft me I earned a college degree
  Buyin' time 'til things were not so bad
  But then I got a guitar found a job in a bar
  Playin' acid rock 'til I was numb
  Tell me where are the flashbacks they all warned us would come
  
  Chorus:
  We are the people, they couldn't figure out
  We are the people our parents warned us about
  
  Hey hey, Gardner McKay
  Take us on the Leaky Tiki with you
  Clear skies bound for Shanghai
  Sailing cross the ocean blue (do do do dooo)
  So blue (do do do dooo OOOH)
  (do do do dooo)
  (do do do dooo OOOH)
  
  Now I got quarters in my loafers tryin' to fight inflation
  When it only used to take a cent
  Sometimes I wish I was back in my crashpad days
  'Fore I knew what cash flow meant
  
  Seems everybody's joggin' or heavy into health shit
  Don't tell me that I ought to get rolfed
  'Cause I love cajun martinis and playin' afternoon golf
  
  Chorus:
  We are the people there isn't any doubt
  We are the people they still can't figure out
  We are the people who love to sing "Twist and Shout"
  SHAKE IT UP BABY
  
  We are the people our parents warned us about (do do do dooo)
  Id'n' any doubt (do do do dooo OOOH)
  Hey hey hey (do do do dooo)
  Gardner McKay (do do do dooo, Gardner McKay)
  (do do do dooo)
  I wanna sail away today (do do do dooo OOOH)
  Isn't any doubt (do do do dooo)
  They warned us about (do do do dooo OOOH)
  Hey hey hey (do do do dooo)
  C'mon now Gardner McKay (do do do dooo OOOH)
  I wanna sail away today
