The Kinks, she bought a hat like Princess Marina Lyrics |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
|
She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's |
|
And her neighbors think it suits her a treat |
|
But she hasn't any food in the larder |
|
Nor has anybody else in the street |
|
But to look at her you'd think she was wealthy |
|
'Cos she smiles just like a real millionaire |
|
'Cos she's bought a hat like Princess Marina's |
|
So she don't care, she don't care, she don't care, she don't care |
