So you thought you'd like to change the world
Decided to stage a jumble sale

For the poor for the poor

Try shaking a box in front of the Queen

'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams

Too many hands in too many pockets
D* Am7
Not enough hands on hearts
D* A7
Too many ready to call it a day

Before the day starts
So you thought you'd like to see them healed
Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal
For the poor for the poor
