lyrics

Simple Simon went down to his local DSS
They said "do you want money?" he answered them "yes"
They said "you'll get no money so just you go away"
"Do you think that we are paying you to work or just to play"
"You've got to prove you're looking for employment" they said
"You don't just think we're paying you for staying home in bed
"Four million unemployed in this country alone
So Simple Simon get a job, or just go home"

Simple Simon met a pieman going to the fair
Said simple Simon to the pieman "let me taste your wares"
Said the pieman to Simon "let me see your penny"
Said Simon to the pieman "no, indeed i have not any"
