Lyrics

Skylarking, skylarking
That's what youths do today
Skylarking, skylarking
Before they stand up firm on their feet
Yet a little work, a little work
And earn them bread honestly
Begging you a five cent, sir
Begging you a ten cent, sir
Can not have, no, can not have
So, if you all keep on doing what you all are doing
You will end up, up, up in chains
Begging you a five cent, sir
Begging you a ten cent, sir
Can not have, no, can not have
So, if you all keep on doing what you all are doing
You will end up, up, up in chains
So, if you all keep on doing what you all are doing
You will end up, up, up in chains
Skylarking, skylarking
That's what youths do today
Skylarking, skylarking
Before they stand up firm on their feet
