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 humbug, 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 Oh, oh dear sir, the world has got me down (Oh, bah humbug, you can't understand) And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found (The world is one big bank, you must steal what you can) I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay (Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time) To keep me alive so I can waste another day (By walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime) How are you? How are you? How are you? Hi, how are you?
