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
She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's And her neighbors 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 'Cos she smiles just like a real millionaire 'Cos she's bought a hat like Princess Marina's So she don't care, she don't care, she don't care, she don't care
