SheÔÇÖs bought a hat like princess marinaÔÇÖs
To wear at all her social affairs
She wears it when sheÔÇÖs cleaning the windows
She wears it when sheÔÇÖs scrubbing the stairs
But you will never see her at ascot
She canÔÇÖt afford the time or the fare
But sheÔÇÖs bought a hat like princess marinaÔÇÖs
So she donÔÇÖt care
HeÔÇÖs bought a hat like anthony edenÔÇÖs
Because it makes him feel like a lord
But he canÔÇÖt 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 heÔÇÖs bought a hat like anthony edenÔÇÖs
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
SheÔÇÖs bought a hat like princess marinaÔÇÖs
And her neighbors think it suits her a treat
But she hasnÔÇÖt any food in the larder
Nor has anybody else in the street
But to look at her youÔÇÖd think she was wealthy
ÔÇÖcos she smiles just like a real millionaire
ÔÇÖcos sheÔÇÖs bought a hat like princess marinaÔÇÖs
So she donÔÇÖt care, she donÔÇÖt care, she donÔÇÖt care, she donÔÇÖt care
