0:10Bacon Fried Squinty eyed moments of the dawn
0:18Misty street calling me get dressed and walk around
0:25In the square
0:27Standing there girl so sad what's the matter
0:32She said
0:33Oh oh dear sir the world has got me down
0:36And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found
0:40I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay
0:44To keep me alive so I can waste another day
0:49I sadly turned and walked away For there was nothing I could say
0:58Walking on noonday sun Dusty road to town
1:05Saddened by the girl that I had chanced to come upon
1:13Then I'd seen a limousine a rich old guy mean of eye
1:20He said
1:21Oh bah hum bug you can't understand
1:24The world is one big bank you must steal what you can
1:27Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time by
1:32Walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime
1:37The words he spoke turned my world grey
1:40Could everybody feel this way
1:44As if in answer down the road a lovely girl picked flowers of gold
1:51She smiled sweetly and gave one to me
1:55And said
1:56Please kind sir don't look so down
1:59For in this hard world love still abounds
2:03And hand in hand friends of beauty can lie
2:06On clover beds neath a blanket of sky
Bacon Fried Squinty eyed moments of the dawn Misty street calling me get dressed and walk around In the square Standing there girl so sad what's the matter She said Oh oh dear sir the world has got me down And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay To keep me alive so I can waste another day I sadly turned and walked away For there was nothing I could say Walking on noonday sun Dusty road to town Saddened by the girl that I had chanced to come upon Then I'd seen a limousine a rich old guy mean of eye He said Oh bah hum bug you can't understand The world is one big bank you must steal what you can Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time by Walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime The words he spoke turned my world grey Could everybody feel this way As if in answer down the road a lovely girl picked flowers of gold She smiled sweetly and gave one to me And said Please kind sir don't look so down For in this hard world love still abounds And hand in hand friends of beauty can lie On clover beds neath a blanket of sky
