what shall we do with the homeless-o
what shall we do with the homeless-o
what shall we do with the homeless-o
turn them out into the snow

what shall we do with our dollars-o
what shall we do with our dollars-o
give them to our scholars-o
west of town where the soybeans grow

what shall we do with the old school then
use it for a bingo den
use it for a homeless pen
tear it down and start again
