He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time
He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time
Wasting all his precious time, wasting all his time
Everyone, never wondering why
She just spends all her money, half the rent
On dresses and jewellery and playing cards
Playing cards from dawn 'til night, playing cards all night
Everyone, never wondering why
Chorus:
Outside the window, see the people below
Life casts a shadow on the faces
He's too lost to admit it, sends regards
To friends of the family at Christmastime
Sends regards to all he knows, sends regards to most
Everyone, never wondering why
Chorus:
Outside the window, see the people below
Life casts a shadow on the faces
He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time
He's just sitting on a corner, wasting time
Wasting all his precious time, wasting all his time
Everyone, everyone, never wondering why
