歌词
Living in a cardboard box
Fighting stray dogs for some rotten meat
It's hard living on the street
Because he was the milkman
He used to have a job and loving friends
But after nobody wanted milk from him
They all buy it from the store
So the job of the milkman was no more
He was the milkman
He was he milkman
He was a nice man
But not anymore
He was the milkman
He was the milkman
Buy milk, 50 cents
But not anymore
On the street playing the cowbell
A business man said I like your style
He offered him a recording session
The milkman took up on his option
Doing shows becoming famous
Gettin' the money, gettin' the women
But was the milkman really happy
He got angry and through his milk cap down
He had enough of the fame
The milk man, sad, walking down the street
So many people wanted to meet
But something finally came to him
None of these people wanted milk from him
He was sad, depressed
Mentally repressed
Of the times when he would deliver milk
To all the people cheering his name
He only wanted that kind of fame
He was the milk man
He was the milk man
He was famous
But not anymore
Oh milkman what was it like living in the limelight?
Oh milkman why couldn't you sleep at night?
Oh milkman, they took your occupation away
And you won't leave without a fight
Finally down on his luck
He thought of a final option
Why is this job non existent?
But then he spotted something in the distance
Give me your purse! A strange man said
Yelling at a defenseless lady
The milkman thought I can't make people suffer like me.
He ran over to the man
Stole his gun
Told him "Hey, Drop the purse"
Then the police showed up and escorted him
Now he's awarded a medal
And allowed to give a speech
All that came to his mind
Was stop buying milk from the store and buy it from me
Once he was employed living his life
Then he was ran of business and backstabbed him with a knife
Now he's on the street playing instruments and not living his dream
He became famous, awarded a savior
Can't smack the world out of their behavior
Why can't you buy it from me and not from the store?Can I make this dream a reality
Walking back from the ceremony
He walked into the mayor who he was surprised to see
He said "I too feel you pain"
I've seen you cold and in the rain
If it means, a lot to you
I'll get your job back
If it's the least I can do.
All of a sudden the world got brighter
People finally respected him
And most of all, more important than all
People finally buy from milk him
The mayor saved his job
And now he doesn't have to live at a bus stop
So if you see a milkman on the street
Buy milk from him, because he needs to eat
