The Lyrics

Good day to you, my fellow riders,
As you can see, I’m down and out
I was once like all you providers
Now I know what hardship’s about
God knows I’ve tried making a living
But this year my bonus fell short.
My yacht is languishing in port
Please be generous in your giving!

My life is a shard!
I’ll take a credit card!
Life’s hard! Life’s hard!
T-bonds will do
Or let me have your wad!

My Aspen time-share is in danger,
And my Lexus is on a lift
I deplore the help of a stranger
And to be near you has me miffed
I’m weak with thirst for some Champan-ya
To drink with my friends at the Club.
I now go to a common pub
Did someone giggle? Thus, I damn ya.

I beg on my knees!
I even will say “please”!
For wine! For cheese!
(God bless you, ma’am)
The rest of you? Go sneeze!

I wonder how many readers know the original French lyrics well enough to comment. I had to learn the whole thing at school and can still give impromptu renditions when I'm sloshed, so I appreciate what you've done here. Worthy topic. We're getting a better educated class of unemployed these days. I may be joining their ranks before long.
