Mercy Me Lyrics

henry's not too bright but he's alright lived with his ma 'til he was twenty five they cut his welfare when she died and threw him in the street where he now resides like a stray dog 'course henry gets the odd job from joe, you know 'cause joe ain't no einstein but he's not dumb he tends bar every mardi gras times being what they are you need a little extra on the side mercy me, mercy me to hear the radio, to see that damn tv you'd think welfare made bums millionaires now there's a sight I'd love to see this store will make an honest man a thief a little rice, a little beef priced beyond belief think twice before you call me a thief and eddie ain't no angel but he's no crook sure he sold a little speed providing for his neighbors' needs to buy his son a ten speed racer mercy me...
