lyrics

Have You A Dollar For Me

Sitting on the corner watching the world go bye
Trains are rumbling under my feet planes up in the sky
Should I go up town where all the money grows on trees
Should I go down town where people livin in need

I open up my hands and say have you a dollar for me
Have you got a nickel have you a dime have you got a
quarter for me yeah
Have you got a nickel have you got a dime have you
got a dollar for me yeah

People they go rushing by nobody got a smile
Born into this crazy world and soon to say goodbye
Does anybody notice what goes on in there between
Does anyone realize we are living in a broken dream

I open up my hands and say have you a dollar for me
Have you got a nickel have you a dime have you got a
quarter for me
Have you got a nickel have you got a dime have you
got a dollar for me

Do you wanna be a beggar man that's out there on the street
Do you wanna be cold and never have anything good to eat
Do you wanna be the man without a loving family
I open my hands and say

I take them by the hand to a place I call my home
It's a cardboard box in which I sleep out on the cold paving stone
Come on in make yourselves at home have a cup of tea
Tell me all about your worries do you think they bother me

I open up my hands and say have you a dollar for me
Have you got a nickel have you a dime have you got a
quarter for me
Have you got a nickel have you got a dime have you
got a dollar for me
