OH I’M AN AGEING WOMAN /  AND I WANT A PLACE TO LIVE
THAT’S CLEAN AND WARM AND DOESN’T HAVE
A CEILING THAT’S A SEIVE.
WHERE I CAN LOCK MY DOOR AND KNOW
THAT I AM SAFE FROM HARM.
I  HOPE SUCH PLACES DO EXIST-----
I WISH I HAD A CHARM

             (CHORUS)

WISH I COULD AFFORD
TO PAY THE RENT
AND BUY SOME FOOD
WITH WHAT’S UNSPENT
AND LOOK OUTSIDE/AT THE RAIN AND SNOW
WHILE I’M SAFE AND WARM IN MY COZY HOME---
BUT I DOUBT IT WILL BE SO.

I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH TO PAY/ THE RENT THAT PEOPLE ASK
AND WHEN YOU’RE OLD AND NOT TOO STRONG
IT’S REALLY QUITE A TASK
TO SEARCH AND SEARCH AND HAVE NO LUCK
BECAUSE YOU’RE OLD AND POOR.
THERE’S GOTTA BE SOMEWHERE –BUT SHUCKS-
I WISH I COULD BE SURE======

I COULD AFFORD/ TO FIND A PLACE 
JUST A TINY/ PRIVATE SPACE
I SEARCH AND SEARCH FOR/ A HOME OF MY OWN.
IT’S HARD TO BE  OLD
IT’S HARD TO BE POOR
TO BE POOR/ AND OLD/
AND ALONE.
