lyrics

Penny for the blind man to help him see
Make all his problems go away
Penny for his doctor who declared him fit-to-work
Put it in his pocket for a rainy day

May Day's a-coming and the maypole flag flies high
The crowning of the May Queen is greeted with the cry
Of desperation, desolation, sorrow and despair
For the poor, the sick, the young, the free
For whom nobody cares

Penny for the graduate who cannot find a job
In debt to the house for eternity
And penny to his landlord, who just pup his rent
To pay for a trip to Italy

May Day's a-coming and the maypole flag flies high
The crowning of the May Queen is greeted with the cry
Of desperation, desolation, sorrow and despair
For the poor, the sick, the young, the free
For whom nobody cares

Panny for the ignorant who didn't read the print
And signed away our justice and our sense
And penny for the Minister who now takes up his seat
And furnishes his home at our expense

May Day's a-coming and the maypole flag flies high
The crowning of the May Queen is greeted with the cry
Of desperation, desolation, sorrow and despair
For the poor, the sick, the young, the free
For whom nobody cares
May Day's a-coming and the maypole flag flies high
The crowning of the May Queen is greeted with the cry
Of desperation, desolation, sorrow and despair
For the poor, the sick, the young, the free
For whom nobody cares
