How Can A Poor Man Stand Such Times And Live?
Well, the doctor comes around with his face all bright
And he says, "In a little while you'll be alright"
All he gives is a humbug pill
Dose of dope and a great big bill
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
Well, there once was a time when everything was cheap
But now prices nearly put a man to sleep
When we get our grocery bill
We just feel like making our will
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
Prohibition's good if it's conducted right
There's no sense in shooting a man 'til he shows flight
Officers kill without a cause
Then they complain about the funny laws
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
And he says, "In a little while you'll be alright"
All he gives is a humbug pill
Dose of dope and a great big bill
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
Well, there once was a time when everything was cheap
But now prices nearly put a man to sleep
When we get our grocery bill
We just feel like making our will
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
Prohibition's good if it's conducted right
There's no sense in shooting a man 'til he shows flight
Officers kill without a cause
Then they complain about the funny laws
Tell me, how can a poor man stand such times and live?
