Candid Camera

A funny thing happened on my way to work

Was stopped by a down and out man

Asked if I could spare a ten spot for a coffee

Ten bucks could buy a whole damn can!

Said he didn't want to keep on bugging me

Every day when we met on the street

Thought a ten spot would keep him in coffee

For two or possibly three weeks!

I suspected this coffee he was talking about

Wasn't your Colombian brew

His breath was enough to knock down a rhino

It was extraordinarily potent, p-eew!

Well lo and behold saw a dude with a camera

Filming the whole damn scene

Turned out this down and out beggar guy

Was a plant from Candid Camera it seems!

Was just about to give him the middle finger

Good thing they told me in time

Would have seen my mug on national TV

Giving him that very rude sign!
