Song: “The Hills are Alive With The Camps Of The Homeless”

To the tune “The Hills Are Alive”, from “The Sound of Music”

Refrain:

The Hills are alive with the camps of the homeless.

But there seems to be no camp for me.

Why Can’t I find a camp for me?

I will make my own camp, and it will be just I, myself, and me!

 

Verse 1:

It will be the smallest homeless camp

and be the best run.

There’ll be no Maurice Young

so we will all have fun!

 

Verse 2: 

We will connect people to the services

to get them out of the street.

And connect them to resources to survive

and get them back on their feet.

 

Song: “Heartless Bastards”

To “Anatevka” from “Fiddler on the Roof”.

Alternate non-copyrighted song: “Faith of Our Fathers”

[“St. Catherine” by Henry Frederick Hemy]

Refrain: Heartless bastards in your ivory towers living your lives of ignorance while my friend dies. I hope those ivory towers fall on your head and make you like my friend dead, dead, dead.

verse 1: No one should have to watch their friend die, die in their arms while I could do nothing but cry. The Establishment will lie that they did try, but we would not go to the mission & they don’t understand why.

Song: “I’m Homeless”

To the song “Maria” from “West Side Story”

Non-copyright tune Hyfrydol (“Alleleluia Sing to Jesus”)

Refrain: I’m homeless! I just can’t believe that I’m homeless! Whatever will I do? Wherever will I go, from here? I’m homeless! I just can’t stop saying “I’m homeless”

Verse: Homeless. Say it loud and it will make me go crazy, Say it soft and it’s almost not scary. Homeless. I just can’t believe that I’m homeless.

I’m Homeless! I’m Homeless!

I’m homeless. I’m homeless.

Song: “I Hear Wheeler”

To the song “I’m So Pretty” from “West Side Story”

Alternate non-copyright tune “Sing of Mary” (Pleading Savior).

 

Refrain: I hear Wheeler! I hear Wheeler! I hear Wheeler up in my camp! I hear Wheeler ! And I do not understand that!

verse 1: All this snoring and farting, it’s true. All this coughing and hacking too! And oh my God what is that smell? It is hell!

verse 2: I can’t believe they brought Wheeler back into my camp. The laughter from me over their stupidity is causing me to cramp in the evening dew and damp!
