Well, not long ago I was a happy man Money in my pocket with a ring on my hand My money's all gone and I'm feelin' low Standin' on the corner of Skid Row I got an old John D. with a Van Ward crew A great big hole in my blue suede shoe My wine's all gone and I need some more Standin' on the corner of Skid Row Well, people walk by me, stop and stare They giggle and snicker at the clothes I wear Just another day like it always goes When you're hangin' around on Skid Row Well, my girlfriend left me, she don't want me no more We had a great big fight just the night before She said I got no class because she knows I've been hangin' around on Skid Row Well, people walk by me, stop and stare They giggle and snicker at the clothes I wear Just another day like it always goes When you're hangin' around on Skid Row When you're hangin' around on Skid Row When you're hangin' around on Skid Row
