McCarthy - An Address To The Better Off Song Lyrics

As you no doubt heard by now, times are hard
Industry once fighting fit needs to die
The state can't spare the cash now
It used to, as you have heard by now times are hard

And so I'm asking the better off who
Who rose through hard work
To share our fare well (?) with the poor

I'm speaking of charity, as useful in a hospital as elsewhere
It's sad but there will always be some
The poor who are unable to pay through no fault of their own

So I'm asking the better off to
To donate some money
To sponsor a little
Oh I fray (??)

Just think of all of those who are poor
Just think of all of those who can't afford
Some new kidneys or some new hips
Just think of them

So I'm asking the better off to
To donate some money
To sponsor a little

And so I'm asking the better off among you
To donate some money
To sponsor a little
Oh I fray (??)
