lyrics:
why don't you work
like other men do?
how the hell can i work
when there's no work to do?
hallelujah, i'm a bum
hallelujah, bum again,
hallelujah, give us a handout,
to revive us again.

i love my boss
my boss loves me,
that is the reason
i'm so hungry,
hallelujah, etc.

oh, the springtime has came
and i'm just out of jail,
without any money,
without any bail.
hallelujah, etc.

went to a house,
knocked on the door;
a lady came out, says,
"you been here before."
hallelujah, etc.

i went to a house,
and asked for some bread;
a lady came out, says,
"the baker is dead."
hallelujah, etc.

when springtime does come,
won't we have fun,
we'll throw up our jobs and
we'll go on the bum.
hallelujah, etc.
