The Lyrics
I'm a bum, I'm a bum, I'm a bum, bum, bum
I'm a bum, just a bum, what a bum, bum, bum
I'm a jerk, never work, not too smart, just dumb
I'll admit, I'm a lousy bum..
I'm a crum, I'm a crum, I'm a crum, crum, crum
From the slum, from the slum, frum the slum, slum, slum
Beg and ask for my cash, or I go steal some
I'm a bum, a pathetic bum..
I'm a bum, have no worth, just a cheap wine boozer
Cardboard in my hole-y shoe
I'm the scum of the earth, people call me, Loser..
That's a name that fits me, too
I'm a bum, on the street, such a homeless bum, sir
In a box I sleep and snore
Find a plum I can eat, in the market dumpster
Moldy bread and more..
People gag, grab a bag, when I walk by,
Get gawk eye,
Or squawk, "Why?"
Rotten clothes, hold their nose,
Because of one gent,
Who's pungent
That's I..
Got no wife, and no life, brain is numb, numb, numb
Old guitar, broken strings, doesn't strum, strum, strum
Sing a song with no words, I just hum, hum, hum
In a can, nickels, dimes, drop some..
Every day is the same, they just come, come, come
Every dawn will go on just as glum, glum, glum
With my fingers on pavement, I drum, drum, drum
Tell myself, I'm a bum, bum, bum..
Watchin' shiny cars go past
They're driving fast
Nice clothes, high classed
Must be a blast
Once I was there,
Glued to a chair,
I pulled my hair
Worked all day long, now...
Just a bum I shall remain
No tension strain
No goal to gain
A plainer pain..
I hoe this row, and go the way I go
No boat to float, no show to show..
Just a bum, just a bum, bummy as can get
I'm a bum, I'm a bum, on my bum I set
Silhouette,
Gettin' wet...
Don't mind the rain, it will wash my clothes
Grow flowers, bloom a rose
A worse life could be chose..
I can move my arms and touch my toes
When the summer's hot,
Feel a breeze that blows
I'm a bum, bum, bum, bum, bum,
A bum...
A bummmm..
