TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: 

I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot with a bird sittin' on my head
I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot with a bird sittin' on my head
Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms 

Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
This is no kind of life
I should have a house and bed 

We're just sittin' in a vacant lot and we haven't got a dime
The bird and me, lonely as can be, we're together all the time

Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms 

Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What I say is no lie
We've been sittin' here so long 

I'm just sittin' in a vacant lot 
(both) The things we want we haven't got need a tree and house and bed

(both) Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
 and he belongs in a tree

(both) Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
This is no kind of life
 and he should have him a wife

Wicked, wicked, cruel, cruel world
What have you done to me?
I belong in someone's arms
FADE
