Street People

Hanging out with the street people

They got it down

Hanging out with the street people

Just drifting from town to town

Got a job in a nursery

But they just didn't like what I growed

They called a man and he ran me off

And said now don't come back no more

Hanging out with the street people

They got it down

Hanging out with the street people

Drifting from town to town

Who's gonna work, make the economy grow

If we all hang out in the street?

Well I don't know, and I don't care

Just as long as it ain't me

Hanging out with the street people

They got it down

Hanging out with the street people

Drifting from town to town

Wouldn't trade places with no one I know

I'm happy where I'm at

Some people would rather work

We need people like that

Wouldn't trade places with no one I know

I'm happy where I'm at

Some people would rather work

We need people like that

I'm glad I'm a street people

Have it no other way

And I'm gonna stay a street people

Until my dying day

Just hanging out, got nothing else to do

Hey, you got any spare change, buddy?

Need a little something, you know, I got me a little

That old lady don't have a thing

Get some money from somewhere

I'm just gonna keep hanging out until I find something
