Did you ever sleep in a bear pit

With apple cores and mice along

Did you ever lay on ice and grit

Or search for a place where the wind was gone

Did you ever tramp up endless hills

Past cosy homes with secret beds

Did you ever dream of a suicide pill

And wake up cold to the smell of bread

And shared my straw with scratchin mice

For a hard wooden bench or a bed of stone

Or scare the horse to escape the snow

Did you ever invade a neat little yard

Wake up the children who hope for ghosts

Did you ever cause their dogs to bark

Their guests to curse their noisy hosts

Don't swagger in there with your elephant gun

Don't enter the cage with wavin chairs

And hope that they might take you in

When someone plays it aloof to sin

Did you ever believe that a smile could cure

A happy face keep you warm at night?

Were you ever fooled by laughters lure

Only to find that they laughed in spite?

Did you ever finally find a place

Did you ever finally find a place

A soft warm bed in a room of flowers

And when you finally laid down your face

And when you finally laid down your face

You found you slept for a hundred hours

You found you slept for a hundred hours

A hundred hours.

A hundred hours.
