TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE:
I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot with a bird sittin' on my head
I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot with a bird sittin' on my head
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
This is no kind of life
I should have a house and bed
We're just sittin' in a vacant lot and we haven't got a dime
The bird and me, lonely as can be, we're together all the time
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What I say is no lie
We've been sittin' here so long
I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot
(both) The things we want we haven't got need a tree and house and bed
(both) Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
and he belongs in a tree
(both) Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
This is no kind of life
and he should have him a wife
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms
