I’m just a little beggar girl and Sally is my name   You can call me a skiver and I’ll call you the same   You can show me you’re sorry if you think it’s a shame   That I’m only a poor little beggar girl   Yes I’m only a poor little beggar girl   You can show me you’re sorry if you think it’s a shame   That I’m only a poor little beggar girl      I’ll dance with my peg leg a-wiggling at the knee   I’ll play on the accordion my father gave to me   For it’s well worth it all to please a gent such as thee   For I’m only a poor little beggar girl   Yes I’m only a poor little beggar girl   And it’s well worth it all to please a gent such as thee   For I’m only a poor little beggar girl      I’ve been down to London, I’ve been up to Crewe   I travel far and wide to do the work that I do   ‘Cause I love taking money off a snob like you   For I’m only a poor little beggar girl   Yes I’m only a poor little beggar girl   And I love taking money off a snob like you   For I’m only a poor little beggar girl      Oh the poor they will be rich, and the rich they will be poor   That’s according to Saul when he wrote down the law   And I’d much rather be rich after than before   For I’m only a poor little beggar girl   Yes I’m only a poor little beggar girl   And I’d much rather be rich, after than before   For I’m only a poor little beggar girl      If the words of my song do your conscience alarm   Just remember generosity is like a lucky charm   If you give me your money it’ll do you no harm   For I’m only a poor little beggar girl   Yes I’m only a poor little beggar girl   If you give me your money it’ll do you no harm   For I’m only a poor little beggar girl
