Anyone know the title and artist of this song? I was told it comes from an old Vaudeville routine and actually has 24 verses - one for each hour of the day. Thanks A bum, a bum, a jolly good bum A bum I want to be A bum gets up in the morning To catch the early train He washes his face in the frying pan Forgets to comb his hair A bum, a bum, a jolly good bum A bum I want to be It's four o'clock in the morning And up upon the wall The bed bugs and the roaches Are having a game of ball The score is six to nothing The roaches were ahead The bed bugs hit a homer And knock me out of bed Chorus It's six o'clock in the morning And Miss Murphy comes around With a piece of bread and butter That weighs a half a pound The butter tastes like tomato juice The bread is six months stale It tastes just like the food you get At any county jail Chorus
