Heh-heh-heh... Have you heard the news? (News? What news?) Can't afford no shoes (Get a good 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 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 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
