lyrics

I can't afford to sleep
I can't afford to wake
I can't afford to weep
I can't afford to wait
I can't afford the food
I can't afford the rent
I can't afford to lose
Can't afford to be spent

Can't afford the city
Can't afford the town
I can't afford the village
Can't afford to be too down
Can't afford to be too bright
Can't afford to be too dark
Cos there's a Crazy Man Playing Bongos in the Park

There's a Crazy Man Playing Bongos in the Park
Someone should tell him he's getting much too dark
There's a Crazy Man Playing Bongos in the Park
Someone should tell him he's getting much too dark

I heard it on the news
I heard it on the street
We're all getting too blue
We're all getting too weak
But we've got to stick together
We just cannot let them win
Dissipate the stormy weather
That the bastard's got us in
We cannot be too worried
We cannot be too scared
We cannot wallow in the slurry
Of the pigs up in the air
We've got to come together
And build another Ark
Cos there's a Crazy Man Playing Bongos in the Park

There's a Crazy Man Playing Bongos in the Park
Someone should tell him he's getting much too dark
There's a Crazy Man Playing Bongos in the Park
Someone should tell him he's getting much too dark
There's a Crazy Man Playing Bongos in the Park
Someone should tell him he's getting much too dark
There's a Crazy Man Playing Bongos in the Park
Someone should tell him he's getting much too dark
