letra de banquet (2022 remaster) - joni mitchell

[verse 1]
come to the dinner gong
the table is laden high
fat bellies and hungry little ones
tuck your napkins in and take your share

[chorus 1]
some get the gravy, and
some get the gristle
some get the marrow bone, and
some get nothing though there’s plenty to spare
[verse 2]
i took my share down by the sea
paper plates and javex bottles on the tide
seagulls come down and they squawk at me
down whеre the water-skiеrs glide

[chorus 2]
some turn to jesus
and some turn to heroin
some turn to rambling ’round
looking for a clean sky and a drinking stream
some watch the paint peel off
some watch their kids grow up
some watch their stocks and bonds
waiting for that big deal american dream

[verse 3]
i took my dream down by the sea
yankee yachts and lobster pots and sunshine and
logs and sails and sh-ll oil pails
dogs and tugs and summertime
back in the banquet line, angry young people crying

[chorus 3]
who let the greedy in?
who left the needy out?
who made this salty soup?
tell him we’re very hungry now for a sweeter fare
in the cookie i read, “some get the gravy, and
some get the gristle
some get the marrow bone, and
some get nothing though there’s plenty to spare”
