 There's a quarter of a man in the market

 With a quarter of a car so its easy to park it

 He gets to the counter he saves what he can

 But he only saves a quarter he's a quarter of a man

.......................

Now this quarter of a man he got fired

The next damn day he got hired hired

The only thing wrong with this plan

He only gets a quarter he's a quarter of man

Chorus

 Every day he's on the street

 Too few quarters to live or to eat

 He's so little the people all stare

 But he only pays a quarter fare

 Oh......

Now the quarter of a man's on vacation

But he still gets his ration

When he gets to the market he pays what he can

But he only pays a quarter he's a quarter of a man

Chorus
