Precious Time

(one two three)
(one two three)

He's just sittin' on a corner
Wastin' time
He's just sittin' on a corner
Wastin' time
Wastin' all his precious time
Wastin' all his time
And everyone
Never wonderin' why

She just spends all her money
Half the rent
On dresses and jewelry
And playin' cards
Playin' cards from dawn 'til night
Playin' cards all night
And everyone
Never wonderin' why

Outside the window
See the people below
Life casts a shadow on the faces

He's too lost to admit it
Sends regards
To friends of the family
At Christmastime
Sends regards to all he knows
Sends regards to most
And everyone
Never wonderin' why

Outside the window
See the people below
Life casts a shadow on the faces

He's just sittin' on a corner
Wastin' time
He's just sittin' on a corner
Wastin' time
Wastin' all his precious time
Wastin' all his time
And everyone, everyone
Never wonderin' why
