[Intro]
[Instrumental, Whistle Solo]
Before you go
I’d like to know
(Hobo… or tramp)
[Verse 1]
Do you have the spark
(To work)
Off on a lark
(Or jerk)
[Bridge]
Before you go
I’d like to know
(Hobo… or tramp)
[Chorus]
Do you support support
(Are you in that cohort)
Taking in pride in your product
(Or are you just fu-uct)
[Verse 2]
Do you have the spark
(To work)
Off on a lark
(Or jerk)
[Bridge]
Before you go
I’d like to know
(Hobo… or tramp)
[Chorus]
Do you support support
(Are you in that cohort)
Taking in pride in your product
(Or are you just fu-uct)
[Bridge]
(So…)
Before you go
We’d love to know
(Tramp or hobo?)
[Chorus]
Do you support support
(Are you in that cohort)
Taking in pride in your product
(Or are you just fu-uct)
[Outro]
(So…)
Where ever you go
(Travel like a hobo)
There ya go
(… that’ll work)
ABOUT THE SONG
A hobo is a migratory worker who travels from place to place, taking short-term jobs to support their travels, while a tramp is a migratory non-worker who travels but avoids work, depending on other means of support. The key difference lies in their relationship with work: hobos work as they travel, taking pride in their work ethic, whereas tramps travel to travel and prefer not to work.
