Saying you can't af ford your grub,
Saying a dollar ain't a dollar no more,
Well, tell me, buddy, what's new?
You can't afford to buy bread no more,
Well, this ain't a charity store.
You say your kids are hungry too,
Well, it's good news for you.
It comes in a bag or a can,
Just the meal for a working man.
If you're down on your luck just now,
It'll get you through the day.
If you eat in the afternoon,
But you're complaining too soon,
You can eat dog food! You really ought to
Clean the garbage from a little spot,
Build a fire and let the coals get hot,
You can open up a can or two,
Make patties like the swell folks do,
Have yourself a little barbecue,
