Well, why don't ya work like other folks do?
How can I get a job when you're holding down two?

The lady said scram bum you've been here before

Yeah, I went to that house and I asked for some bread
The lady said scram bum the baker is dead

Hallelujah, I'm a bum
Hallelujah, bum again
Hallelujah, give us a handout to revive us again
