lyrics

When we were in second grade
They asked us what we wanted to be
I never thought that I would say
An insurance actuary
But there's no market for
A hundred thousand ballerinas
A hundred thousand quarterbacks
Filling endless sports arenas

So wind up working for the man
Find a job with a dental plan
If you're lucky, you get to keep those luxury bones

Taking classes at the night school
Looking up what it takes to be
A medical coding specialist
Or an actuary

And wind up working for the man
Find a job with a dental plan
If you're lucky, you get to keep those luxury bones

Every day, every day you get to solve somebody else's problems
Every day, every day
Every day, every day endless figures fill the columns
Every day, every day

When you calculate the odds
Of your chances of getting to go to space
They frankly don't seem very good
But what does that matter, anyway?
You have a job that pays you well now
And there's no room for dreamers
You know what your life will look like
You were always good with numbers

So wind up working for the man
Find a job with a dental plan
If you're lucky, you get to keep those luxury bones
Vision and retirement
Cash for death or dismemberment
If you're lucky, you get to keep those luxury bones
If you're lucky, you get to keep your luxury bones
