Times is Hard (s***house) 
Times is Hard (s***house) 
Please don't burn our s***-house down, Mother has promised to pay. Father's away on the ocean wave And sister's in the family way. 
Brother dear has gonorrhea And times is f***ing hard; So please don't burn our s***-house down Or we'll all have to s*** in the yard. 
From Songs from the Front and Rear, Hopkins 
Note: Another in the All the World is Desolation vein; makes a decent antidote to overdoses of Hard Times, Come Again No More, though. RG
