Skylarking

Skylarking, skylarking

That's what youths do today

Skylarking, skylarking

Before they stand up firm on their feet

Get a little work, a little work

And earn their bread honestly

Beggin' you a five cent, sir

Beggin' you a ten cent, sir

Cannot help, no, cannot help

So if you all keep on doing what you all are doing

You will end up, up up in chains

Beggin' you a five cent, sir

Beggin' you a ten cent, sir

Cannot help, no, cannot help

So if you all keep on doing what you all are doing

You will end up, up up in chains

So if you all keep on doing what you all are doing

You will end up, up up in chains

Skylarking, skylarking

That's what youths do today

Skylarking, skylarking

Before they stand up firm on their feet
