Please sir, please sir
Passing me on the street
Give me money
To buy something to eat.
My stomach is empty
Because so is my hat
A couple of coins
I'd be happy with that.

Please miss, please miss
Just a coin or two
It'll mean everything to me
And won't make a difference to you
I just need a little,
To buy one small blanket
The feeling of warmth in a winter night
There is nothing quite like it.

Please sir, please sir
I have nowhere else to go
Don't move me from my shelter
Unless there's a better place you know
Don't move me from this spot
It's all I have to call my own
Even if it's the doorway
To someone else's home.

Please miss, please miss
I've done nothing wrong
Don't send me to an orphanage
It's not where I belong.
My parents are out there
They're looking for me,
Please let me stay,
I like living on the streets.
