She Bought a Hat Like Princess Marina — текст песни (Kinks)

Shes bought a hat like princess marinas

To wear at all her social affairs

She wears it when shes cleaning the windows

She wears it when shes scrubbing the stairs

But you will never see her at ascot

She cant afford the time or the fare

But shes bought a hat like princess marinas

So she dont care



Hes bought a hat like anthony edens

Because it makes him feel like a lord

But he cant afford a rolls or a bentley

He has to buy a secondhand ford

He tries to feed his wife and his family

And buy them clothes and shoes they can wear

But hes bought a hat like anthony edens

So he don t care



Buddy can you spare me a dime

My wife is getting hungry

And the kids are crying

This poverty is hurting my pride

Buddy can you spare me, buddy can you spare me a dime



Shes bought a hat like princess marinas

And her neighbors think it suits her a treat

But she hasnt any food in the larder

Nor has anybody else in the street

But to look at her youd think she was wealthy

cos she smiles just like a real millionaire

cos shes bought a hat like princess marinas

So she dont care, she dont care, she dont care, she dont care
