Charity Begins At Home |
| A shake of the tin |
| The money drops in, but is it a sin |
| You’re standing in rags |
| You’re selling your flags |
| But who gets the dough at the end of the day |
| We saw your drop-dead fancy wheels |
| Your little house up on the hill |
| But when your conscience pricks |
| A little sacrifice sweetens the pill |
| So keep your hands in your pockets |
| Charity begins at home |
| Keep your hands in your pockets |
| Charity won’t leave you alone |
| We take to the stage |
| The audience rave, we’re doing our bit |
| A heavenly cast, a blast from the past |
| There’s a song to be sung, will it make number one |
| We wanna see your money roll |
| But our eyes are on the hall of fame |
| 'cos business is business |
| And hits are the name of the game |
| So keep your hands in your pockets |
| Charity begins at home |
| Keep your hands in your pockets |
| Charity won’t leave you alone |
| Everywhere that we turn |
| There are mouths to be fed |
| How can we sleep |
| The battle goes on while we’re |
| Safe in our beds |
| So don’t turn away |
| No don’t turn away |
| Your doors are locked |
| You switch on the box to take in a show |
| You think that you’re safe |
| But here comes that face |
| And wouldn’t you know it’s that message again |
| They want to take your plastic cash |
| Your hand reaches out to the phone |
| Keep your hands in your pockets |
| Charity begins at home |
| Keep your hands in your pockets |
| Charity begins at home |
| Keep your hands in your pockets |
| Charity won’t leave you alone |
| Everywhere that we turn |
| There are mouths to be fed |
| How can we sleep |
| The battle goes on while we’re |
| Safe in our beds |
| So don’t turn away |
| No don’t turn away |
| Keep your hands in your pockets |
| Charity begins at home |
| Keep your hands in your pockets |
| Charity won’t leave you alone |
