Scumbag - Jobriath

«Scumbag»

Sits on his milk crate all day long

From morning until night he sings his song

To the ladies passing by

Outside of Zum Zum Zum Zum Zum Zum Zum restaurant

Oooh…

«Scumbag»

He used to be a famous actor

The pretty Broadway butterflies would flutter to his

Dressing room at night

Til one sad day a monarch

Flew through his window and broke his heart.

Zum Zum finds him there at nine o’clock

And perfect ladies scream a perfect shock

At five his workday through he rides a crosstown bus

His milk crate abides

Til morn when he returns to greet the ladies

«Scumbag»

Sits on his milk crate all day long

From morning until night he sings his song

To the ladies passing by

Outside of Zum Zum Zum Zum Zum Zum Zum restaurant

Oooh…

Zum Zum finds him there at nine o’clock

And perfect ladies scream a perfect shock

At five his workday through he rides a crosstown bus

To God knows where

And nobody tells him what to do

I’d like to live like that now, wouldn’t you?
