There's a quarter of a man in the market With a quarter of a car so it's easy to park it He gets to the counter he pays what he can but he only pays a quarter He's a quarter of a man Now this quarter of a man he got fired The next damn day he got hired The only thing wrong with this plan is he only makes a quarter He's a quarter of man Every day he's on the street, too few quarters to live or to eat He's so little the people all stare but he only pays a quarter fare Now this quarter of a man's on vacation but he still gets his ration He gets to the market he saves what he can but he only saves a quarter He's a quarter of a man Every day he's on the streets too few quarters to live or to eat He's so little the people all to stare but he only pays a quarter fare Now There's a quarter of a man in the market With a quarter of a car so it's easy to park it He gets to the market he saves what he can but he only saves a quarter He's a quarter of a man
