lyrics
Scrape on By
I wanna scrape on by
Oh let me scrape on by
I don't want a big bite
Just a part of the piece of the pie
You know I creak and I moan
I duly creak and I moan
And I would love to call you honey
But I can't afford a telephone
And these are trying times
I try and try all the time
To go on peddling my wares but I get scared
'Cause these are trying times
See, I could sell my things
I could sell all my things
And put my needs upon my back
To thumb around just like the hobo kings
But it's the same in the end
To be of means, or to spend
To let it tumble from the top, or drink the dregs
We're just the holes that we mend
Still, we can dance for free
Come on and dance with me
We'll go on shuffling our feet out in the street
‘Cuz we can dance for free
I wanna scrape on by
Oh let me scrape on by
I don't want a big bite
Just a part of the piece of the pie
