I keep a pile of pennies,
In the pocket of my pant.s
I pay my toll to the sidewalk troll,
My entrance fee to street romance.
Oh Streetcorner ambassador,
This city treats you well,
Supplies the finest newsprint sheets,
The penthouse suite, Park Bench Hotel.
Conferring with the delegates,
Around imported port.

And it's toss into the old tin cup,
A shiny copper penny.

Take you to the shelter"
She beat a quick retreat that's how,
He knew that he had helped her.

On the street you let it be.
Consider it my joint account,
Eith someone who really needs it.
Oh streetcorner ambassador,
Back from Vietnam or up from the South,
Those patronizing liberals,
Took the words out of your mouth.
And it's toss into the old tin cup,
A shiny copper penny.
Sing along that old refrain.
"Can you spare a little change, man?
Can you spare just a little change
