Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
When my feet touch down on the foreign land
I buried all my money in a coffee can
And I've been hobo skipping just to hide from the weather
Only got two pennies better rub them together
Because I keep on my sleeve
I wear it on my shirt
I got a living room full of dust and dirt
And it's a jumped up living in the city of smoke
You better suck it up before I
Come apart
I'm a hobo rocket
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
What a time, nothing in my pocket, check
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
When my shoe got holes in the cobble streets
And now it feels like heaven underneath my feet
I'm like a lone true sad-or on a holy endeavour
Living 5 pound daily in a charity sweater
Because I'm beating on my drum
I'm tapping on my knee
I stream ride a chair to a back cd
At least I still got rhythm if I don't get paid
And I'll never quit cos I'll
Come apaaaaart
I'm a hobo rocket
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
What a time, nothing in my pocket, check
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
I got my hobo beat
I'm living on my feet
I got the hobo beat
That's what I tell them
I got the hobo beat
I'm walking on my feet
I got the hobo beat
And so I tell them (who who)
Alright alright alright (who who)
Alright alright alright (who who)
Alright alight alright (who who)
I tell them what I tell them
And I do it every night (who who)
