That's what youths do today
Skylarking
Skylarking
Before they stand up firm on their feet
Get a little work, a little work
And earn their bread honestly

Begging you a five cent, sir
Begging you a ten cent, sir
Can not help, no, can not help
So if you all keep on doing what you all are doing
You will end up, up up in jail

Yeah

Begging you a five cent, sir
Begging you a ten cent, sir
Can not help, no, can not help
So if you all keep on doing what you all are doing
You will end up, up up in jail
So if you all keep on doing what you all are doing
You will end up, up up in jail

Prima che si alzino in piedi
Procurati un po 'di lavoro, un po' di lavoro
E guadagnati il pane onestamente

Chiedo cinque centesimi, signore
Chiedo dieci centesimi, signore
Non posso aiutare, no, non posso aiutare
Quindi se continuate tutti a fare quello che state facendo tutti
Finirai in prigione
