Have you heard the news?
(News? What news?)
Can't afford no shoes
(Get a good deal on tape)
Have you heard the news?
(News? Can't afford a paper)
Can't afford no shoes
(Hi-yo-hi)

Went to buy some cheap detergent
Some emergent nation
Got my load
Got my load
That i stowed

Well, well
Hey, lawdy mama
Can't afford no shoes
Maybe there's a bundle of rags that I could use
Hey, anybody
Can you spare a dime
If you're really hurtin', a nickel would be fine
Hey everybody
Nothin' we can buy
Chump Hare Rama, ain't no good to try
Recession
Depression
