Thought I'd share the lyrics to "The Tramp Chorus" from scene 8 of Trampology the musical.


We’re the people without homes
We’re the city’s garden gnomes
We scare people with our crazy drunken ways
But while you run off pouting
Petrified from all our shouting
You have no idea that you’ve just made our day

We’re tramps (we’re tramps)
We’re paraffin lamps (we’re tramps)
We’re escapees of the bourgeois normality
From place to place we’ll roam
But we’ll never feel alone
Because we live in a booze-fuelled reality

We may seem like we all argue
While we’re fighting with the dole queue
But its all a show to keep the norms afraid
We’re actually quite chirpy
Underneath all that is dirty
And living off guilt induced financial aid

We’re tramps (we’re tramps)
We’re paraffin lamps (we’re tramps)
We’re escapees of the bourgeois normality
From place to place we’ll roam
But we’ll never feel alone
Because we live in a booze-fuelled reality

Why is this topic of the day?

My mate once wrote a song about tramp dogs. He didn't have the talent to write a tune himself so he just stole a New Kids On The Block tune. We were nine at the time.

Cheers guys. I'd never get this finished without the encouragment :)
