Rockefeller's busy giving dough away; Chevrolet is busy making cars; Hobo, you keep busy when they throw away Slightly used cigars Hobo, you've no time to shirk You're busy keeping far away from work The weather' s getting fine The coffee tastes like wine You happy hobo, sing "Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!" Why work away for wealth
When you can travel for your health? It' s spring, you hobo, sing "Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!" Your home is always near; The moon's your chandelier; Your ceiling is the sky Way up high The road is your estate The earth your little dinner plate; It's spring, you hobo, sing "Hallelujah, I'm a bum again!"
