Can't Afford No Shoes

Heh-heh-heh . . .

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

Wah-ooh-wah-ooh WAH-WAH

Wah-ooh-wah-ooh WAH-WAH

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
