She wears it When she's cleaning the windows She wears it When she's scrubbing the stairs
But you will never see her at Ascot
She can't afford the time or the fare
But she's bought a hat Like Princess Marina's So she don't care
He's bought a hat Like Anthony Eden's
Because it makes him Feel like a Lord
But he can't afford a Rolls Or a Bentley He has to buy a secondhand Ford
He tries to feed his wife and his family And buy them clothes And shoes they can wear
But he's bought a hat Like Anthony Eden's
So he don't care
Buddy can you spare me a dime
My wife is getting hungry And the kids are crying This poverty is hurting my pride
Buddy can you spare me Buddy can you spare me a dime
Buddy can you spare me a dime
Buddy can you spare me Buddy can you spare me
Buddy can you spare me a dime
She's bought a hat Like Princess Marina's And her neighbors Think it suits her a treat
But she hasn't any food in the larder
Nor has anybody else in the street
But to look at her You'd think she was wealthy
'Cos she smiles Just like a real millionaire
'Cos she's bought a hat Like Princess Marina's
So she don't care So she don't care
She don't care
She don't care
