The Walking Song - Remastered

Bacon fried, squinty-eyed, moments of the dawn
 Misty street calling me, "Get dressed and walk around"
 In the square, standing there girl so sad
 "What's the matter"?
 She said
 "Oh, oh dear sir, the world has got me down
 And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found
 I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay
 To keep me alive so I can waste another day"
 I sadly turned and walked away
 For there was nothing I could say
 Walking on, noonday sun, dusty road to town
 Saddened by the girl that I had chanced to come upon
 Then, I'd seen a limousine
 A rich old guy, mean of eye
 He said
 "Oh, bah humbug, you can't understand
 The world is one big bank, you must steal what you can
 Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time
 By walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime"
 The words he spoke turned my world grey
 Could everybody feel this way?
 As if in answer down the road a lovely girl picked flowers of gold
 She smiled sweetly and gave one to me
 And said
 "Please, kind sir, don't look so down
 For in this hard world love still abounds
 And hand in hand friends of beauty can lie
 On clover beds 'neath a blanket of sky"
 Oh, oh dear sir, the world has got me down
 (Oh, bah humbug, you can't understand)
 And folks preach happiness when there's none to be found
 (The world is one big bank, you must steal what you can)
 I type and answer phones to earn my meager pay
 (Because it's fools like you who waste their precious time)
 To keep me alive so I can waste another day
 (By walking in the sun instead of trying to make a dime)
 "How are you? How are you? How are you"?
 "Hi, how are you'?
