Lyrics by Doug Haberman

The butcher doesn’t live upstairs no more
The butcher doesn’t live upstairs no more
The madness made his profits drop
So he had to close up shop
The butcher doesn’t live upstairs no more

The baker doesn’t live upstairs no more
The baker doesn’t live upstairs no more
The rising cost of yeast was fatal
Now there’s no bread on our table
The baker doesn’t live upstairs no more

It’s harder all the time for this village to survive
Folks are losing faith that the good times will arrive
Not long ago we’d hedge our bets
Now we’re on the edge of debt
Don’t know how we’re gonna stay alive

The candlestick maker’s doing just fine
The candlestick maker’s doing just fine
Since the wicked won the night
Candles are our source of light
The candlestick maker’s doing just fine
