It's Better Than That Songtext
von Trout Fishing in America

I′ve got news for you kids, who think adults are lucky
Own their own cars and everything's just ducky
Going to bed whenever they want to
If that′s what you think I got a flash for you
It's better than that, take Saturday and multiply it
Times 54 add 30 more. It's better than that


We have a chocolate éclair about as big as your head
Just before noon before we get out of bed
We do the things you′re not allowed to do
And then we do things you haven′t thought of too
Hang on to your hat, hang on to your baloney sandwich
Take 50 grand to Disneyland. It's better than that

And if you think that our days are extra warm and sunny
A big pile of toys, a pocketful of money
With nothing to fear because we′re big and tall
We're never in school because we know it all
And you can believe that
It′s better than that, more comfy than a secret hideout
By quite a bit, just think of it, it's better than that
By quite a bit, just think of it, it′s better than that
