Have you heard the news? (News? What news?)
Can't afford no shoes (Ow! Get a deal on tape)
Have you heard the news? (News? Can't afford a paper)
Can't afford no shoes (Hi-yo-hi)
Went to buy some cheap detergent
Some emergent nation got my load
Got my load
Got my toad
That I stowed
Well, well,
Hey lawdy mama,
Can't afford no shoes
Maybe there's a bundle of rags that I could use
Hey anybody,
Can you spare a dime?
If you're really hurtin', a nickel would be fine
Hey everybody
Nothin' we can buy
Chump Hare Rama, ain't no good to try
Recession
Depression
Well, well,
Hey lawdy mama,
Can't afford no shoes
Maybe there's a bundle of rags that I could use
Hey anybody,
Can you spare a dime?
If you're really hurtin', a nickel would be fine
Hey everybody
Nothin' we can buy
Chump Hare Rama, ain't no good to try
