"She's Bought A Hat Like Princess Marina" lyrics
"She's Bought A Hat Like Princess Marina"
She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's
To wear at all her social affairs
She wears it when she's cleaning the windows
She wears it when she's scrubbing the stairs
But you will never see her at Ascot
She can't afford the time or the fare
But she's bought a hat like Princess Marina's
So she don't care
He's bought a hat like Anthony Eden's
Because it makes him feel like a Lord
But he can't afford a Rolls or a Bentley
He has to buy a secondhand Ford
He tries to feed his wife and his family
And buy them clothes and shoes they can wear
But he's bought a hat like Anthony Eden's
So he don't care
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?
My wife is getting hungry and the kids are crying
This poverty is hurting my pride
Buddy, can you spare me?
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?
Buddy, can you spare me?
Buddy, can you spare me?
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?
(Oh, Buddy!)
She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's
And her neighbours think it suits her a treat
But she hasn't any food in the larder
Nor has anybody else in the street
But to look at her you'd think she was wealthy
'Cause she smiles just like a real millionaire (Millionaire, millionaire, millionaire!)
'Cause she's bought a hat like Princess Marina's
So she don't care
No, she don't care
She don't care
She don't care
She don't care

Needles and pins
