She’s bought a hat like princess marina’sTo wear at all her social affairsShe wears it when she’s cleaning the windowsShe wears it when she’s scrubbing the stairsBut you will never see her at ascotShe can’t afford the time or the fareBut she’s bought a hat like princess marina’sSo she don’t careHe’s bought a hat like anthony eden’sBecause it makes him feel like a lordBut he can’t afford a rolls or a bentleyHe has to buy a secondhand fordHe tries to feed his wife and his familyAnd buy them clothes and shoes they can wearBut he’s bought a hat like anthony eden’sSo he don t careBuddy can you spare me a dimeMy wife is getting hungryAnd the kids are cryingThis poverty is hurting my prideBuddy can you spare me, buddy can you spare me a dimeShe’s bought a hat like princess marina’sAnd her neighbors think it suits her a treatBut she hasn’t any food in the larderNor has anybody else in the streetBut 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’sSo she don’t care, she don’t care, she don’t care, she don’t care
