Ballad of the Stinky Bum

[Verse] Walking down the alleyway Kicking cans and dust away I smelled the air what can I say A stinky bum was on display [Verse 2] His jacket torn with frayed edges Living life on concrete ledges His stories were like endless pledges From cardboard kingdoms and old wedges [Chorus] Stinky bum oh stinky bum You light the night like a streetlight hum Your fragrance ain't for everyone But you're the king of where you're from [Verse 3] The folks pass by with crinkled noses They miss the tale the bum discloses In every scar and each of those Worn-out shoes and tragedies composed [Bridge] He laughed at life he fought the fight Underneath the moon so bright In his sad eyes there's some might The stinky bum still holds on tight [Chorus] Stinky bum oh stinky bum You light the night like a streetlight hum Your fragrance ain't for everyone But you're the king of where you're from
