Overcoat
Old wool cap
Leather gloves
Hide the fat
In a world made of tears
He is safe from his fears
On his own
He's on his own
He likes it that way
Thoughts arise
Fear is doubt
Bearing through
Giving smell
It's the happiest day
When he moves far away
From the crowd
The curious crowd
He wants them to stand back
The old man's snoring heavy
Down underneath the bridge
He's got his mansion of cardboard slats
And it's enough
It's the happiest day
When he moves far away
From the crowd
The curious crowd
He wants them to stand back
The old man's snoring heavy
Down underneath the bridge
He's got his mansion of cardboard slats
And it's enough
Stand back
The old man's snoring heavy
Down underneath the bridge
He's got his mansion of cardboard slats
And it's enough
Old wool cap
Leather gloves
Hide the fat
In a world made of tears
He is safe from his fears
On his own
He's on his own
He likes it that way
Thoughts arise
Fear is doubt
Bearing through
Giving smell
It's the happiest day
When he moves far away
From the crowd
The curious crowd
He wants them to stand back
The old man's snoring heavy
Down underneath the bridge
He's got his mansion of cardboard slats
And it's enough
It's the happiest day
When he moves far away
From the crowd
The curious crowd
He wants them to stand back
The old man's snoring heavy
Down underneath the bridge
He's got his mansion of cardboard slats
And it's enough
Stand back
The old man's snoring heavy
Down underneath the bridge
He's got his mansion of cardboard slats
And it's enough

People don't like the bum, and I think that's what Rivers thinks what others think about him.
I cant think of any more, but there's a lot more meaning to this than just a song about a bum
great song though..
