Chorus Hallelujah! I'm a bum, Hallelujah bum again Hallelujah! give us a handout and revive us again
I went to a house and I knocked on the door A lady says, " Bum, bum, you been here before"
I went to a house, and I asked for some bread A lady says, " Bum, bum, the baker is dead"
Oh why dont you work like other folk do How the hell can I work when there's no work to do
Oh why don't you work like other folks do How can I get a job when you're holding down two
Oh, I love my boss and my boss loves me And that is the reason I'm so hungry
Oh why don't you save all the money you earn Well if I didn't eat, I'd have money to burn
Oh, I like my boss, he's a good friend of mine And that's why I'm starving out in the breadline
Whenever I get all the money I earn The boss will be broke and to work he must turn
