She’s Bought a Hat Like Princess Marina

[Verse 1]

She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's

To wear at all her social affairs

She wears it when she's cleaning the windows

She wears it when she's scrubbing the stairs

[Verse 2]

But you will never see her at Ascot

She can't afford the time or the fare

But she's bought a hat like Princess Marina's

So she don't care

[Verse 3]

He's bought a hat like Anthony Eden's

Because it makes him feel like a Lord

But he can't afford a Rolls or a Bentley

He has to buy a secondhand Ford

[Verse 4]

He tries to feed his wife and his family

And buy them clothes and shoes they can wear

But he's bought a hat like Anthony Eden's

So he don't care

[Bridge]

Buddy, can you spare me a dime?

My wife is getting hungry and the kids are crying

This poverty is hurting my pride

Buddy, can you spare me?

Buddy, can you spare me a dime?

Buddy, can you spare me a dime?

Buddy, can you spare me?

Buddy, can you spare me?

Buddy, can you spare me a dime?

(Oh, Buddy!)

[Verse 5]

She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's

And her neighbours think it suits her a treat

But she hasn't any food in the larder

Nor has anybody else in the street

[Verse 6]

But to look at her you'd think she was wealthy

'Cause she smiles just like a real millionaire (Millionaire, millionaire, millionaire!)

'Cause she's bought a hat like Princess Marina's

So she don't care

No, she don't care

She don't care

She don't care

She don't care
