Rejoice and be glad
For the springtime has come
We can throw all our shows
And go out bum
Hallelujah! i'm a bum
Hallelujah bum again
Hallelujah give us a handout to revive us again
The spring time has come
And i'm just out if jail
We're out any money
We're out any bail
(chorus)
I went to a house
And i rept on the door
And the lady says bum,
Bum you've been here before
(chorus)
I like jim hill
He's a good friend of mine
That's why i'm hiking down
Jim hill's main line
(chorus)
I went to a house
And i asked for some bread
And the lady says bum,
Bum the baker is dead
(chorus)
Why don't you work?
Like other man do,
Now, how can i work
When there's no work to do?
(chorus)
Why don't you save
All the money you earn?
And if i didn't eat
I'd have money to burn
(chorus)
I don't like work
And the work don't like me
And there's the reason
I'm so hungry!
(chorus)
