Merry revellers
cast one glance on me
before your mind wavers
throw me one penny
My eyes are deep in socket
but ears are sharply keen
catch jingles in your pocket
silver's pompous din
Pray not be too aloof
need a lil of your pity
a penny can't buy a roof
can buy a crumb for belly
It wouldn't hurt you much
for one less from too many
merry revellers before you rush
toss my way one penny.

Merry revellers
cast one glance on me
before your mind wavers
throw me one penny
My eyes are deep in socket
but ears are sharply keen
catch jingles in your pocket
silver's pompous din
Pray not be too aloof
need a lil of your pity
a penny can't buy a roof
can buy a crumb for belly
It wouldn't hurt you much
for one less from too many
merry revellers before you rush
toss my way one penny.
