An Address To The Better Off - McCarthy

As you no doubt heard by now times are hard

Industry once fighting fit needs to die

The state can't spare the cash now

It used to as you have heard

By now times are hard

And so I'm asking the better off who

Who rose through hard work

To share our fare well with the poor

I'm speaking of charity

As useful in a hospital as elsewhere

It's sad but there will always be some

The poor who are unable

To pay through no fault of their own

So I'm asking the better off to

To donate some money

To sponsor a little

Oh I fray

Just think of all of those who are poor

Just think of all of those who can't afford

Some new kidneys or some new hips

Just think of them

So I'm asking the better off to

To donate some money

To sponsor a little

And so I'm asking the better off among you

To donate some money

To sponsor a little

Oh I fray
