Where the hop-heads flop in the snow
|
Down on Skid Row
|
|
Oh, Uptown you cater to a million jerks
|
Uptown you're messengers and mailroom clerks
|
Eating all your lunches at the hot dog carts
|
The bosses take your money and they break your hearts
|
|
Uptown you cater to a million whores
|
You disinfect terrazzo on their bathroom floors
|
The jobs are really menial you make no bread
|
And then at five-o'clock you head...
|
...By subway

Poor, all my life I've always been poor
|
I keep askin' God what I'm for
|
And he tells me, "Gee, I'm not sure"
|
"Sweep that floor, kid!"
|
Oh! I started life as an orphan,
|
A child of the street, down here on Skid Row!
|
He took me in, gave me shelter
|
A bed, crust of bread and a job
|
He treats me like dirt, calls me a slob,
|
Which I am...
|
So I live
