[Verse 1]
He looked funny
The children called him the scarecrow
An old raincoat
And baggy trousers and sneakers he found at the dump
Oh, but if you bothered to look
There was something behind the rags
Oh, there was a look in his eyes
It was something you'd never forget
[Verse 2]
He lived badly
A broken shack on the railway
An old moggy
The only one who replied when he talked to the walls
Oh, we didn't understand
We were fooled by the dirt on his face
Oh, we were human then
We were searching behind his disgrace
[Chorus]
Why don't you leave me alone?
Why don't you go to your homes?
Why don't you keep to yourselves?
I'm tellin' you
Why don't you leave me alone?

Why don't you go to your homes?
Why don't you keep to yourselves?
I'm tellin' you
Why don't you leave me alone?
