Once upon a time you dressed so fine, Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn’t you ? People’d call, say, “Beware doll, you’re bound to fall,” You thought they were all a’kiddin’ you. You used to laugh about Everybody that was hangin’ out. Now you don’t talk so loud, Now you don’t seem so proud, About having to be scrounging your next meal. How does it feel ? How does it feel ? To be without a home ? Like a complete unknown ? Like a rolling stone ? ---

It’s so nice to meet an old friend and pass the time of day And talk about the home town a million miles away Is the ice still on the river, are the old folks still the same And by the way, did she mention my name Did she mention my name just in passing And when the morning came, do you remember if she dropped a name or two Is the home team still on fire, do they still win all the games And by the way, did she mention my name? ---

I may go out tomorrow if I can borrow a coat to wear Oh, I’d step out in style with my sincere smile and my dancing bear Outrageous, alarming, courageous, charming Oh, who would think a boy and bear Could be well accepted everywhere It’s just amazing how fair people can be Seen at the nicest places where well-fed faces all stop to stare Making the grandest entrance is Simon Smith and his dancing bear They’ll love us, won’t they?
