I am that famous Bowery Bum you hear so much about

(Chorus)

They always give me the Bum's Rush
I'm getting weary today
To hear somebody saying,
"Oh you dirty drunken bum be on your way!"
Said I just one banana please will keep me satisfied
He took me by the collar and he threw me right outside
East side West side, all around the town,
The Bowery Bums you can always see, shuffling up and down
Some of them are sober, and some can't see where they walk,
And they bang their heads every evening on the sidewalks of New York.
"Good Night" ladies, Good Night ladies. I got no handout today.
