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
