Can't Afford No Shoes

Have you heard the news?

(News? What news?)

Can't afford no shoes

(Get a good deal on tape)

Have you heard the news?

(News? Can't afford a paper)

Can't afford no shoes

(Hi-yo-hi)

Went to buy some cheap detergent

Some emergent nation

Got my load

Got my load

That I stowed

Well, well

Hey, lawdy mama

Can't afford no shoes

Maybe there's a bundle of rags that I could use

Hey, anybody

Can you spare a dime?

If you're really hurtin', a nickel would be fine

Hey, everybody

Nothing we can buy

Chump Hare Rama, ain't no good to try

Recession

Depression
