The Lyrics
i'm a scavengin' man
ate a lotta slop
all over the world
and through the rundown parts
i push my cart
and i eat what others hurled
there's a bit of greasy pizza
waiting for me
down the gullet, it goes
if its rubbery or rancid
its for me
acute hunger simply blows
well, you'll see soup lines
down in L.A. town
but that's no fun, i've learned
but a chili dog
that's has done gone wrong
makes me feel its earned
there's a polynesian restaurant
i eat for free
when they close for the night
then i hop into the bin
and i find kiwi
and some other fruit delights
oh, i'm a scavengin' man
yes, i'm a scavengin' man
ate a lotta slop
all over the world
and through the rundown parts
i push my cart
and i eat what others hurled
there's a bit of greasy pizza
waiting for me
down the gullet, it goes
if its rubbery or rancid
its for me
acute hunger simply blows
well, you'll see soup lines
down in L.A. town
but that's no fun, i've learned
but a chili dog
that's has done gone wrong
makes me feel its earned
there's a polynesian restaurant
i eat for free
when they close for the night
then i hop into the bin
and i find kiwi
and some other fruit delights
oh, i'm a scavengin' man
yes, i'm a scavengin' man

Made me a little "Icky" in the ricky...but an excellent use of dark humor and raw reality to depict the plight of the homeless
I just pulled some 'fives' out of my trash can...they're a little gnawed-on, but they should still count...yeah, the "Ricky" thing...well, at least it reminds us of his talent. It's not going to hurt his feelings at this point ~ ~ ~
Too many good lines in here to digest, starting with the title, at one sitting. 5s
What a piece of garbage! And I mean that with all due respect. Five salutes from New York's Strongest. (The Sanitation Department.)
