I was raised here in Westchester County
|
I was taught in the Country Day School
|
We were richer than most, I don't mean to boast
|
But I swam in the country club pool
|
|
With a father from Hewlett, Long Island
|
And a mother fromTifton, GA
|
During the war in the Marine Corps
|
They met and then married one day
|
|
I was raised here in Westchester County
|
My brother, my sisters and I
|
Oh our dad went to work every day in NY
|
On a train in a suit and a tie
|
I remember those coming out parties
|
Where us country club kids had our fun
|
Steal a kiss, cop a feel, off a girl in high heels
|
Oh we all came in our cumberbuns
|
|
I was raised here in Westchester County
|
Tennis courts, golf courses galore
|
By the country club pool at the Country Day School
|
I learned manners, oh so much more
|
|
I remember those big Sunday dinners
|
Round that dining room table we all sat
|
Carve a turkey, a ham, a roast leg of lamb
|
Dinner finished in ten minutes flat
|
In the country club pool
|
|
(Repeat verse 1)
