Beggar’s Elegy

Chris Butler

Spare change? Spare change?
Got any spare change?
Anything you can to help out an old man.
I got mouths to feed, child support to pay.
I can’t even work, my back is broke (jingles can).
Been on this earth 53 years, what can I say?
I been trying to get back on my feet,
been trying to take good care of myself,
you see?
I just need a little help...
thank you sir, thank you much.
I assure you it’ll go to good use, like my kids’ lunch...
Spare change? Spare change?
Got any spare change?
