Seymour: [singing] Poor/All my life I've always been poor/I keep asking God what I'm for/And he tells me, ‘Gee, I'm not sure’/’Sweep that floor, kid!’/Oh, I started life as an orphan/A child of the street/Here on skid row/He took me in/Gave me shelter, a bed/Crust of bread and a job/Treats me like dirt, calls me a slob/Which I am/So I live...

Company: Downtown!

Seymour: That's your home address/You live...

Company: Downtown!

Seymour: When your life's a mess/You live...

Company: Downtown!

Seymour: Where depression's just status quo.

Company: Down on Skid Row.
