This boy came asking for
Some money for charity
The door was standing open
So at home he knew I’d be.



My husband gave at the office
And that was only yesterday
I couldn’t think of anything
Else to him to say.



We have three little mouths to feed
And our money only goes so far.
I can’t even seem to save
A few bucks in a jar.



The kids always need new shoes
And clothes on their backs
I can’t even afford to buy
Myself a pair of slacks.



Little piranhas they are like
Hungry all the time
And when I hit the grocery store
I push two cars in line



Maybe one day in the future
I’ll have a few bucks to spare
But as it stands today
I have nothing left to share.
