Street People

STREET PEOPLE
Bobby Charles

Hangin' out with the street people
They got it down
Hangin' out with the street people
Just drifting from town to town

I got a job in a nursery
But they just didn't like what I grow
They called the man and they ran me off
And said now don't come back no more

I'm hangin' out with the street people
They got it down
Hangin' out with the street people
Driftin' from town to town

Who's gonna work, make the economy grow
If we all hang out in the street
Well, I don't know, and I don't care
Just as long as it ain't me

Hangin' out with the street people
They got it down
Hangin' out with the street people
Driftin' from town to town

Wouldn't trade places with no one I know
I'm happy where I'm at
Some people would rather work
We need people like that

Wouldn't trade places with no one I know
I'm happy where I'm at
Some people would rather work
We need people like that

I'm glad I'm a street people
Have it no other way
And I'm gonna stay a street people
Until my dying day

Just hangin' out, got nothin' else to do
Have you got any spare change, buddy?
