There's a quarter of a man in the market   With a quarter of a car so its easy to park it   He gets to the counter he saves what he can   But he only saves a quarter he's a quarter of a man   Now this quarter of a man he got fired   The next damn day he got hired hired   The only thing wrong with this plan   He only gets a quarter he's a quarter of man   Every day he's on the street   Too few quarters to live or to eat   He's so little the people all stare   But he only pays a quarter fare   Oh......   Now the quarter of a man's on vacation   But he still gets his ration   When he gets to the market he pays what he can   But he only pays a quarter he's a quarter of a man   Every day he's on the street   Too few quarters to live or to eat   He's so little the people all stare   But he only pays a quarter fare
