SOUP SONG

I'm spending my nights in the flophouse,‎
I'm spending my days on the street,‎
I'm looking for work and I find none,‎
I wish I had something to eat.‎

Soo-oop, soo-oop, they give me a bowl of soo-‎oo-oop.‎
Soo-oop, soo-oop, they give me a bowl of soup!‎

I spent twenty years in a fact'ry,‎
I did everything I was told.‎
They said I was faithful and loyal,‎
Now now even before I am old:‎

Soo-oop, soo-oop, they give me a bowl of soo-‎oo-oop.‎
Soo-oop, soo-oop, they give me a bowl of soup!‎

I saved fifteen bucks with my banker,‎
To buy me a car and yacht.‎
I went down to draw out my money,‎
And this was the answer I got:‎

Soo-oop, soo-oop, they give me a bowl of soo-‎oo-oop.‎
Soo-oop, soo-oop, they give me a bowl of soup!‎
Oh, soo-oop, soo-oop, they give me a bowl of ‎soo-oo-oop.‎
Soo-oop, soo-oop, they give me a bowl of soup!‎
SOUP SONG

I'm spending my nights in the flophouse,
I'm spending my days on the street,
I'm looking for work and I find none,
I wish I had something to eat.

Soup, soup, they gave me a bowl of soup,
Soup, Oh soup, they gave me a bowl of soup.

I spent twenty years at the factory,
I did everything I was told.
They said I was faithful and loyal,
Now even before I get old – They give soup

Soup, soup, they gave me a bowl of lousy soup,
Oh soup, soup, they gave me a bowl of soup!

I saved fifteen bucks with my banker
To buy me a car and yacht,
I went down to draw out my fortune
And this was the answer I got: – Hey, sister you can have soup

Soup, soup, they gave me a bowl of lousy soup
Soup, oh, soup, they gave me a bowl of soup!

"And it wasn't too much, either!"
