She stepped off the bus

With a burst suitcase and a frown

And she could smell the breweries

And abattoirs on the edge of town

And the man who owes her money

Won't even lend her an ear

When she phones to demand his answer's vague

He says I'll get back to you

But right now I've got to catch the plague

Down in a bargain basement

She goes to shuffle through careers

When all they offer her

Is friendship and peace souveniers

And the receptionist was playing

With a pencil at her lip

She asked her if she knew a place to sleep

She says I'll get back to you

But now I've got appointments to keep

There was a shop called B J 's

That she stepped into to get out of the gale

They sold only British manufactured

Lifetime guaranteed to fail

And a store detective asked her

What she had under her coat

It's just a little something that I wrote

It says I'll get back to you unless

First your girlfriend slits your throat

And by the time the sun set

She was penniless and frozen to the core

The Salvation Army girls refused her

On the grounds they didn't know

So she asked them well for advice

But it turned out to be

A Sunday sport reporter

Who was following his nose

He said I'll get back to you

But first we need a picture without clothes

So she stepped back on that bus

With a burst suitcase and a frown

She had come to the conclusion

That this was not the place for Maggie Brown

And it was 6 in the morning

When she telephoned me

Until then I'd been living on my knees

But I got back up when she got back to me
