Can't Afford No Shoes - Frank Zappa, The Mothers Of Invention

Heh-heh-heh…

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

Nothin' we can buy

Chump Hare Rama, ain’t no good to try

Recession

Depression
