If you want money in your pocket and a top hat on your head
 a hot meal on your table and a blanket on your bed
 Well, today is grey skies tomorrow is tears
 You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here

 I'm going to New York City and I'm leaving on a train
 and if you want to stay behind and wait 'til I come back again
 Well, today is grey skies tomorrow is tears
 You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here

 If you want to go where the rainbows end
 you'll have to say goodbye
 All our dreams come true baby up ahead
 and it's out where your memories lie

 Well, the road is out before me and the moon is shining bright
 What I want you to remember as I disappear tonight
 Well, today is grey skies tomorrow is tears
 You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here

 Well, today is grey skies tomorrow's tears
 You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here
 You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here
 You'll have to wait 'til yesterday is here
