Lyrics

I saw a guy on the street
He's a hescher with a gym bag
He hasn't bathed in a week
And he's smelling like a wet rag

All the kids seem to know when he's coming
Nobody knows how bad he's been slumming
He's just a hescher with a gym bag

He's got no friends
But he makes a healthy living
Selling dime bags
He's underage so he a little help
Scoring zig-zags

All the kids seem to know when he's coming
Nobody knows how bad he's been slumming
It's been a year or so
Since he's seen his mom or dad
But everybody tells me that he ain't half that bad
He's just a hescher with a gym bag

Some may question why he's motivated
He's only trying to make ends meet
I think I know the only explanation
Everybody's got to eat, yeah

Gym bag
He's just a hescher with a gym bag
He's just a hescher with a gym bag
He's just a hescher with a gym bag

All the kids seem to know when he's coming
Nobody knows how bad he's been slumming
It's been a year or so since he's seen his mom or dad
But everybody tells me that he ain't half that bad
He's just a hescher with a gym bag
He's just a hescher with a gym bag
He's just a hescher with a gym bag
He's just a hescher with a gym bag, yeah
