He’s just sitting on a cornerwasting time
He’s just sitting on a cornerwasting time
Wasting all his precious timewasting all his time
Everyonenever wondering why
She just spends all her moneyhalf the rent
On dresses and jewelry and playing cards
Playing cards from dawn ’til night
Playing cards all night
Everyonenever wondering why
Chorus:
Outside the windowsee the people below
Life cast a shadow on their faces
He’s too lost to admit itsends regards
To friends of the family at christmas time
Send regards to all he knows
Sends regards to most
Everyonenever wondering why
(chorus)
He’s just sitting on a cornerwasting time
He’s just sitting on a cornerwasting time
Wasting all his precious timewasting all his time
Everyoneeveryonenever wondering why
