I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot with a bird sittin' on my head
 Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
 What have you done to me?
 I belong in someone's arms 

 Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
 This is no kind of life
 I should have a house and bed 

 We're just sittin' in a vacant lot and we haven't got a dime
 The bird and me, lonely as can be, we're together all the time

 Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
 What have you done to me?
 I belong in someone's arms 

 Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
 What I say is no lie
 We've been sittin' here so long 

 I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot 
 (both) The things we want we haven't got need a tree and house and bed

 (both) Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
 What have you done to me?
