I once was a lot like you We share a dream I couldn't make come true I was a child who wrote my name Across a frosted window pane And there are jobs that I might hold If they'd just let me through the door Without a shower and new clothes That I can ill afford [Chorus:] Can you spare the time? Can you spare a dime? Can you look me in the eye? I'm down 'n' out And I am lonely Do you ever think of me on Sunday? No. I don't live Across the water Hey, I live right here On this corner Just a bank account away from America I won't hurt your family I don't want a house there on your street And I know you think that I'm As lazy as a hobo's sigh Now, you call me down 'n' outer If there's a way out I've not found 'er I only want to earn my piece of America [Chorus] I'm just a bank account away from America
