He's a car parker, Albert Einstein he is not
And you seem hot to trot
Plus he knows nothing, only hangs out in burger joints
When he's talking he points
You got a nice body, You got a nice face
And I wouldn't guess you're dumb
You carry yourself with excellent grace
But he's a bum
He's a bum, He's a bum
That's all he ever will become 'cause he's a bum
He's a bum, He's a bum
I'm sorry but I can't stay mum
He is not pretty, will you just take a look at him
And his prospects are slim
Plus he eats sideways, have you noticed that he is deaf?
You should find some nice chef
You'd be better off with a typical man
To keep beneath your thumb
And you should run just as fast as you can
"Cause he's a bum
He's a bum, He's a bum
That's all he ever will become 'cause he's a bum
He's a bum, He's a bum
He's beating on a broken drum
You two met just four days ago
You gotta wait a year and some
And by that time I'm sure you will know
He's a bum
He's a bum, He's a bum
That's all he ever will become 'cause he's a bum
He's a bum, He's a bum
He's nothing but a measly crumb
He's a bum He's a bum
He's a bum He's a bum
He's a bum, He's a bum

XTC had their moment in time...this recording extends it...Full of small, tight , quirky songs it juz rolls along. Recommended but maybe only for XTC fans.. cwhitney
