Don't Pity Me Babe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Young Pegi just died today
Young Pegi just died today
And I guess
nobody even knows the case
But the way the story goes
She just ran out of clothes
No will this world
Just for the peg down
Last words, can't talk
And then she wrote.
Some people can't stand no rain
Some people can't stand no rain
When it's cloudy outside
You can't see the sun
But on a bright and sunny day
The people all go away
Except one
Oh no don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
Don't see no tears around me
Don't see no tears around me
I don't take too much stock
In the things people say
I'm not saying that they're wrong
They've just
been standing around too long
Gone bad,
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
Can't ride my broom no more
Can't ride my broom no more
'Cause the landlady's taken
To sweeping the floor
I guess I'll go back to my place
And occupy a little space
John Doe,
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
The streets are crammed, can't walk
Might find somebody and talk
I can't find nobody who
Say boo, guess who
'Cause that street
is paved with aires
And everybody is putting on theirs
Can't breathe
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
He's standing outside my door
He's standing outside my door
But he won't ring the bell
And he's just to scared to knock
And he's puzzled
And he's young
And he's doing what's
already been done
One more
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright.
