[Chorus:]
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night
After closing time
At the Guernsey Fair
I detect the El Supremo
From the room at the top of the stairs
Well I've been around the world
And I've been in the Washington Zoo
And in all my travels
As the facts unravel
I've found this to be true

[Chorus]

They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy
They got the shapely bods
They got the Steely Dan T-shirt
And for the coup-de-gras
They're outrageous

[Chorus]

Show biz kids making movies
Of themselves you know they
Don't give a fuck about anybody else

[Chorus]

They got the house on the corner
With the rug inside
They got the booze they need
All that money can buy

They got the shapely bodies
They got the Steely Dan T-Shirt
And for the coup de grace
They're outrageous

Honey, let the girl you
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else
You know you go to

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night

Wow, been years since I listened to this and here we are new year 2026 and has anything really changed. People still losing at Las Vegas. Movie Stars still not giving a fuck, only trying to stay relevant during elections and saving the planet.
