There's a quarter of a man in the market With a quarter of a car so its easy to park it He gets to the counter he saves what he can But he only saves a quarter he's a quarter of a man Now this quarter of a man he got fired The next damn day he got hired The only thing wrong with this plan He only gets a quarter he's a quarter of man Every day he's on the street Too few quarters to live or to eat He's so little the people all stare But he only pays a quarter fare Now the quarter of a man's on vacation But he still gets his ration When he gets to the market he pays what he can But he only pays a quarter he's a quarter of a man Every day he's on the street Too few quarters to live or to eat He's so little the people all stare But he only pays a quarter fare
