Song Lyrics

She`s bought a hat like Princess Marina`s
To wear at all her social affairs
She wears it when she`s cleaning the windows
She wears it when she`s scrubbing the stairs
But you will never see her at Ascot
She can`t afford the time or the fare
But she`s bought a hat like Princess Marina`s
So she don`t care

He`s bought a hat like Anthony Eden`s
Because it makes him feel like a Lord
But he can`t afford a Rolls or a Bentley
He has to buy a secondhand Ford
He tries to feed his wife and his family
And buy them clothes and shoes they can wear
But he`s bought a hat like Anthony Eden`s
So he don t care

Buddy can you spare me a dime
My wife is getting hungry
And the kids are crying
This poverty is hurting my pride
Buddy can you spare me, buddy can you spare me a dime

She`s bought a hat like Princess Marina`s
And her neighbors think it suits her a treat
But she hasn`t any food in the larder
Nor has anybody else in the street
But to look at her you`d think she was wealthy
`Cos she smiles just like a real millionaire
`Cos she`s bought a hat like Princess Marina`s
So she don`t care, she don`t care, she don`t care, she don`t care
