Come all you jolly jokers[00:00:02]

If you want to have some fun [00:00:03]

And listen while I relate the tale[00:00:05]

Of the Great American Bum [00:00:07]

From the east and west and north and south[00:00:09]

Like a swarm of bees they come [00:00:11]

They sleep in the dirt and they wear a shirt[00:00:13]

That's dirty and full of crumb [00:00:15]

I am a bum a jolly old bum[00:00:16]

And I live like a royal Turk[00:00:18]

And I have good luck[00:00:20]

And I bum all my chuck[00:00:20]

And to heck with the man that works[00:00:21]

It's early in the morning[00:00:25]

When the dew is on the ground [00:00:26]

The bum arises from his nest[00:00:28]

And gazes all around [00:00:30]

Well going east they're loaded [00:00:32]

And going west sealed tight [00:00:33]

I reckon we'll have to ride[00:00:35]

Aboard the fast express tonight [00:00:37]

I am a bum a jolly old bum[00:00:39]

And I live like a royal Turk[00:00:40]

And I have good luck[00:00:42]

And I bum all my chuck[00:00:43]

And to heck with the man that works[00:00:44]

I beat my way from Frisco[00:00:47]

To the rockbound coast of Maine[00:00:49]

From Canada to Mexico[00:00:51]

And then all the way back again [00:00:52]

Well I met a man the other day[00:00:57]

That I never met before[00:00:59]

And he asked me if I wanted a job[00:01:00]

A shoveling iron ore [00:01:02]

I asked what the wages was[00:01:04]

And he said "Ten cents a ton"[00:01:05]

I said "Oh fella go scratch your neck [00:01:07]

I'd rather be on the bum "[00:01:10]

I am a bum a jolly old bum[00:01:11]

And I live like a royal Turk[00:01:13]

And I have good luck[00:01:15]

And I bum all my chuck[00:01:16]

And to heck with the man that works[00:01:17]

Oh lady would you be kind enough[00:01:19]

To give me something to eat [00:01:21]

A piece of bread and butter [00:01:23]

And a tender slice of meat [00:01:24]

Some apple pie and custard[00:01:26]

Just to tickle my appetite [00:01:27]

For really I'm so hungry[00:01:29]

Don't know where I'll sleep tonight [00:01:31]

I am a bum a jolly old bum[00:01:33]

And I live like a royal Turk[00:01:34]

And I have good luck[00:01:36]

And I bum all my chuck[00:01:37]

And to heck with the man that works[00:01:38]
