songs (missy's list)

He wakes up
He combs his hair
It's six in the morning
So I stare
He puts on his socks
And then he puts on his shoes
Rolls up his bed
He is ready to cruise

(chorus:)
Homeless man blues
Homeless man
What else can we do?

Asleep on the lawn
[He's] underneath the palm
His shoes in a plastic bag
They're laid by his side
But his head he hides
It's a noisy, noisy traffic jam

(chorus)

It's cold
He's getting old
Well how long can he stay in this way?
He can't help feeling scared
It's not fair [though]
To be without a home
All alone
With the blues of a homeless man

Now he's holding up a sign
He's asking for a dime
He'll work for food or a bed
How about just a smile
To brighten up his day
[But you] step on the gas instead

[last verse improvised on occasion]
