I'll tell you a little story A man roaming the streets The one with raggedy clothes The one you ignore to see
I'll tell you a little story A man i used to know Smelling oh so bad People laugh at him
DOWN AND OUT Call him what you'd like Penniless and broke Destitute for life DOWN AND OUT Without a roof tonight Wandering around His life is in a rut
I once knew a man Who's life was doing fine Got himself a degree and a fine looking wife
I once knew a man Put a mortgage on a house Bought a nice car And friends were all around
Cloudy days will come Getting laid of is all part of life Losing, first your house Your wife is next line
Cloudy days will come No friends are to be found The life you once had Is taken just like that!
DOWN AND OUT He was once one of us Life can take a turn Life can be unkind WHO'S CONCERN How about you and me Think for a minute It can happen to anyone!
