Skid Row |
Clerks at the hotels don’t take a chance |
Rooms for three dollars pay in advance |
Sleep on a mattress, you might get a sheet |
But you’d be surprised at the people you meet |
Telling their tales of trouble and woe |
'Bout how they got down here to skid row |
Minnie the moocher begging for dimes |
Her life has fallen on difficult times |
She was a teacher, got strung out on crack |
Went out so far 'til she never got back |
When she started teaching, she didn’t know |
'Bout the school of hard knocks down on skid row |
Willie the wino, now ain’t it a shame |
Sleeping in doorways, he don’t know his name |
Was a surgical doctor, the top of his class |
'Til he started finding his nerve in a glass |
A little nip now and then began to grow and grow |
He’s a missing physician on skid row |
Skid row, anywhere USA |
You can find them there |
Lost sheep who have gone astray |
We gotta lift them up in prayer |
Oh… |
Ooh… |
Larry and Lisa, three kids and all |
Nowhere to go and no one to call |
Larry was working, he was laid off |
Lived in a house that wasn’t paid off |
Went into foreclosure and they had to go |
Now they live on the streets down on skid row |
Well, well, skid row, anywhere USA |
You can find them there |
The numbers growing higher everyday |
We gotta show them somebody cares |
Well, skid row, anywhere USA |
You can find them there |
Lost sheep who have gone astray |
We gotta lift them up in prayer… |
