Lyrics for Bummer by Harry Chapin:
| | | Artist: | Harry Chapin |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Bummer | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 97 | | | | Lyrics: | His mama was a midnight woman
His daddy was a drifter drummer
One night they put it
together
Nine months later came the little black bummer
He was a laid back lump in
the cradle
Chewing the paint chips that fell from the ceiling
Whenever he cried he got a

So he learned not to show his feelings
He was a pig-tail puller
in grammer school
Left back twice by the seventh grade
Sniffing glue in Junior High
And
the first one in school to get laid
He was a weed-speed pusher at fifteen
He was
mainlining skag a year later
He'd started pimping when they put him away
In jail he changed
from a junkie to a hater
And just like the man from the precinct said:
"Put him

A bummer like that is better of dead
Someday they're
gonna have to put a bullet in his head."
They threw him back on the street, he robbed
