Say brother, can I borrow a thin brother |
|
You know, a dime? |
|
Say it, say it, say it sis |
|
I'd sure like to have this little dime for me |
|
So I can get this cup of coffee |
|
Cop me a snack, somethin' |
|
I guess I better quit tryin' to be hip and get on down |
|
Yea man, like, you know |
|
I was born in New York City on a Monday |
|
It seems I was out shinin' shoes 'bout two to noon |
|
All the fat cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor |
|
Got the fat cats, in the bad hats laying it on real good |
|
Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy |
|
When the cold wind comes, it live at New York City |
|
And the street's no place to be but there you are |
|
So you try hard, or you die hard |
|
No one really gives a good damn |
|
You try hard, and you die hard |
|
No one gives a damn |
|
Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy |
|
[Incomprehensible] in New York City |
|
Ain't no way to be, but where can you go? |
|
When you're down and out in New York City |
|
I'm never, never, never gonna get that way again, ow |
|
No, no, no |
|
No, no, not me |
|
When you need a friend [Incomprehensible] |
|
When you want a friend |
|
Gonna get myself together 'til the mornin' |
|
Gonna leave it all and a one bad dream |
|
All the fat cats, in the bad hats doing me a real big favor |
|
Got the fat cats, in the bad hats, laying it on real good |
|
Here's a dime boy, give me a shine boy, wow, ow, yeah |
|
Give me a shine boy |
