Well we're living here in Allentown
And they're closing all the factories down
Em A DOut in Bethlehem they're killing time
A Em A DFilling out forms - Standing in line
Well our fathers fought the Second World War
C D GSpent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Em A DMet our mothers in the USO
Asked them to dance, Danced with them slow
G Em DAnd we're living here in Allentown
F G C
But the restlessness was handed down
Em C G D Em DAnd it's getting very hard to stay

G Em DWell we're waiting here in Allentown
C D GFor the Pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
A Em A DIf we worked hard , If we behaved
G Em DSo the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
Em A DNo they never taught us what was real

But they've taken all the coal from the ground
And the union people crawled away

But something happened on the way to that

But I won't be getting up today - ay - ay
