Buddy, Can You Spare A Condo
[Verse 1]
A ragged panhandler on a post office step
Said: Excuse me there, friend, but I sure could use your help
I can see you're in a hurry, and you don't have much time
So buddy, I won't bore you with that old "Can you spare a dime?"
You see, I'm a man without means, but I'm a man of dreams
Beneath this facade I'm all class
So I need to know before you go
The answer to the question that I'm about to ask
[Chorus]
Buddy, can you spare a condo on Miami Beach?
With an unlisted number where I cannot be reached
A diamond ring, a hot tub, and a Mercedes Benz
Somе bedroom bunnies and a few old yachting friеnds
A case of sixty-five Dom Perignons
And a pinch of Martinis just to make it feel like home
I'm tired and I'm cold, and I'm sickened for sure
But it's nothin' that a 10th floor ocean view wouldn't cure
So if charity is in your heart, and the means within your reach
Buddy, can you spare a condo on Miami Beach?
[Verse 2]
I said: What kind of fool are you to ask me such a thing?
Why can't you be like other bums and just beg for loose change?
He said: Well, there's 5 billion people in this world that we live in
And I intend to ask the same thing of every one of them
And the way it goes, I'll hear a lot of no's, I guess
But hot dog, what if just one says "yes" when I say...
[Chorus]
Buddy, can you spare a condo on Miami Beach?
With an unlisted number where I cannot be reached
A diamond ring, a hot tub, and a Mercedes Benz
Some bedroom bunnies and a few savvy old friends
A case of sixty-five Dom Perignons
And a pinch of Martinis just to make it feel like home
I'm tired and I'm cold, and I'm sickened for sure
But it's nothin' that a 10th floor ocean view wouldn't cure
So if charity is in your heart, and the means within your reach
Buddy, can you spare a condo on Miami Beach?
[Outro]
Oh, I can just see me now, sittin' there in my Goodwill smokin' jacket, puffin' on a stoggy that I found on the beach, sippin' a Margarita out of a brown paper bag
And I'd ring that little tinkly bell for my butler:
"Ding-a-ling-a-ling, ding-a-ling-a-ling!"
Oh Eduardo, Eduardo! You may serve the chocolate mousse now
Buddy, can you spare a condo on Miami Beach?
