Lend a Hand Starts to take it off real slow Then she hops up on the pole Spinnin’ ‘round and ‘round Kinda feelin’ like a clown She’ll do anything to feed her family Her husband can’t work at all Got hurt in a slip and fall No insurance to speak of Cries herself to sleep Don’t think she can take much more
1st Chorus Hey Mr. Congressman won’t you lend a hand To those of us tryin’ so hard to make it If you could see I bet you’d agree Somethin’ needs done about it Politician man won’t you lend a hand
Her Ma says aint there somethin’ else Mamma waitressin’ don’t cover the bills Wanna pay um be my guest, they’re stacked up on the desk Try to walk a mile in my shoes Her little daughter ‘bout the age of four Says Mamaw called you a whore Honey it won’t always be like this Gives her a kiss and sends her out the door
2nd Chorus Hey Mrs. Senator have you observed This mess that really needs cleanin’ I’m just a nobody, but it seems to me It’s a crime gone unpunished Mr. Vice President Won’t you lend a hand?
Bridge 4 kids and you can’t tell Her body’s held up well Tips in appreciation or charitable donations Can’t decide which is which
3rd Chorus Hey Mr. Congressman won’t you lend a hand To those of us tryin’ so hard to make it If you could see I bet you’d agree Somethin’ needs done about it Mr. President won’t you lend a hand
