lyrics

Even if it takes me all night
We’ll get you off the streets and out of sight
Even if it takes winter long
We’ll thaw you out and get you moving along
But how will our businesses thrive
If you fuck with our window shopping?
How, with you standing outside?
Our paying customers might feel uncomfortable getting by

Now that our streets are all safe and sound
We’ve got the time and the money to get down
Down, yes to business we’ll get
So please wait patiently so I may straighten my tie and ask
Sorry sir, your lips are all blue, your hands and your fingers too
Sir, if you could take that outside
This is clearly not a hospital room
Our paying customers might feel uncomfortable getting by
Our paying customers
Your hungry faces do not lie
