The Things We Do For Money

I asked a homeless man for some change to spare
He told me to get some new clothes and do something to my hair
I became offended and told him that's not what I meant
but he said "Honey that was some advice you needed that could've been well spent"
I should say "What about that awful cologne I smell, C.K. Bum" but I wouldn't dare
