Well we're living here in Allentown And they're closing all the factories down Out in Bethlehem they're killing time Filling out forms Standing in line.
Well our fathers fought the Second World War Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore Met our mothers in the USO Asked them to dance Danced with them slow And we're living here in Allentown.
But the restlessness was handed down And it's getting very hard to staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay aaaaaaah aaahhhhh ooooooooh ooooooh ohhhhhhh.
Well we're waiting here in Allentown For the Pennsylvania we never found For the promises our teachers gave If we worked hard If we behaved.
So the graduations hang on the wall But they never really helped us at all No they never taught us what was real Iron and coke And chromium steel.
And we're waiting here in Allentown.
But they've taken all the coal from the ground And the union people THROW IT awaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaah.
Every child had a pretty good shots To get at least as far as their old man gots.
But something happened on the way to that place They threw an American flag in our face aaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah faaaaaaaccccceee oh oh oh.
Well I'm living here in Allentown And it's hard to keep a good man down.
But I won't be getting up todaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaah.

Well we're living here in Allentown
And they're closing all the factories down
Out in Bethlehem they're killing time
Filling out forms
Standing in line.
Well our fathers fought the Second World War
Spent their weekends on the Jersey Shore
Met our mothers in the USO
Asked them to dance
Danced with them slow
And we're living here in Allentown.
But the restlessness was handed down
And it's getting very hard to staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay
aaaaaaah aaahhhhh ooooooooh ooooooh ohhhhhhh.
Well we're waiting here in Allentown
For the Pennsylvania we never found
For the promises our teachers gave
If we worked hard
If we behaved.
So the graduations hang on the wall
But they never really helped us at all
No they never taught us what was real
Iron and coke
And chromium steel.
