Lyrics

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
