Lyrics
Don't Pass Me By © Earl Webb
We had a house; we had a car, I had my pocket money in the jar and then
Dad got sick, he lost his pay, they came and took the house away
And for a little while I stayed with friends but, they just couldn't make ends, meet
Mum couldn't cope with losing her home
Now they're both dead, I'm on my own
Please don't think so bad of me
I'm not what I appear to be
I really am worth caring for
Don't close your eyes, don't shut the door, don't pass me by, don't pass me by
I'll be sleeping in the park again, gotta sheet of plastic for the rain
And a pair of boots with a hole in the sole, and I got my spoon and I got my bowl
The angels of the soup kitchen serving stew, if you wanna get fed then you join the queue
I don't beg for sympathy
Just a little love and a cup of tea
Please don't think so bad of me
I'm not what I appear to be
I really am worth caring for
Don't close your eyes, don't shut the door, don't pass me by, don't pass me by
Solo
(Repeat chorus to fade)
