[Verse 1]
She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's
To wear at all her social affairs
She wears it when she's cleaning the windows
She wears it when she's scrubbing the stairs

[Verse 2]
But you will never see her at Ascot
She can't afford the time or the fare
But she's bought a hat like Princess Marina's
So she don't care

[Verse 3]
He's bought a hat like Anthony Eden's
Because it makes him feel like a Lord
But he can't afford a Rolls or a Bentley
He has to buy a secondhand Ford

[Verse 4]
He tries to feed his wife and his family
And buy them clothes and shoes they can wear
But he's bought a hat like Anthony Eden's
So he don't care

[Bridge]
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?
My wife is getting hungry and the kids are crying
This poverty is hurting my pride
Buddy, can you spare me?
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?
Buddy, can you spare me?
Buddy, can you spare me?
Buddy, can you spare me a dime?
(Oh, Buddy!)
[Verse 5]
She's bought a hat like Princess Marina's
And her neighbours think it suits her a treat
But she hasn't any food in the larder
Nor has anybody else in the street


[Verse 6]
But to look at her you'd think she was wealthy
'Cause she smiles just like a real millionaire (Millionaire, millionaire, millionaire!)
'Cause she's bought a hat like Princess Marina's
So she don't care
No, she don't care
She don't care
She don't care
She don't care
