Shivering in the winter
Hot in the blazing days of summer
The nutty old man living alone
No family, friends, or real home
He’s dirty, greasy, and dirty
And has no food to eat
Staring at cars that passes by
Scaring every child who walks by
Billy, he’s hungry
Asking strangers for spare change
The nutty old man living alone
No family, friends, or real home.
