Flag Day

Too many Florence Nightingales

Not enough Robin Hoods

Too many halos not enough heroes

Coming up with the goods

So you thought you'd like to change the world

Decided to stage a jumble sale

For the poor for the poor

So you thought you'd like to change the world

Decided to stage a jumble sale

For the poor for the poor

It's a waste of time if you know what they mean

Try shaking a box in front of the queen

'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams

It's a waste of time if you know what they mean

Too many hands in too many pockets

Not enough hands on hearts

Too many ready to call it a day

Before the day starts

So you thought you'd like to see them healed

Got blue Peter to stage an appeal

For the poor for the poor

So you thought you'd like to change the world

Decided to stage a jumble sale

For the poor for the poor

It's a waste of time if you know what they mean

Try shaking a box in front of the queen

'Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams

It's a waste of time if you know what they mean
