MONKEY SEE,MONKEY DO...

Monkey is always in a stew.......

When she comes and when.........she goes!

Monkey is always on her

Tippy toes

The old man

On the corner

There's and old man on the corner

Drinking beer

I watched from a far

I look at him,he looks back at me...

If only our eyes meet

We would see the meaning

Of love

The meaning to be free

Well he"s homeless as he's drinking his beer, only he wishes....

I'm out of here

Oh it's makes no difference,if your rich or if your old

Being a homeless person has got to be known

O' his shirt is tattered and torn

His shoes has holes

Which he has over worn.

Well he has a smile upon his face

He has the right to be treated

Like any human race

But people look at him with his tattered clothes on .....

Only to say.....

That they wish that he was gone

But people dont you know don't

You realize....

This could be your father or mother....or next of kin

So when you see a man who's in tattered clothes..please!

Be kind

Show a little tenderness....

Because some day you might be poor or old

And you may have no where

To go

Hey! Bartender let me have one

For the road

I just found out today that the trailer park was sold

Well it's been a long,long time

Since I cried alot.

O' this old house has carried me threw some rough spots

But I guese life has changes to make

Even tho it might break my

Heart into

So bartender please give me one more drink

"Ah! Sing it boys"

'cause I don't know....if I'll pass here .....again !

Well it's been a long,long time

I'm about to lose my mind in this world

I did a lot of suffering

I just don't know what to do

Well! It"s been ten years since

My husband died.....and I cried alot

Well you see bartender my man always took care of me when he was alive!

And now I live in this trailer home park.....and this my only way of life
