[Intro]
\n[Instrumental, Whistle Solo]
\nBefore you go
\nI’d like to know
\n(Hobo… or tramp)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nDo you have the spark
\n(To work)
\nOff on a lark
\n(Or jerk)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBefore you go
\nI’d like to know
\n(Hobo… or tramp)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDo you support support
\n(Are you in that cohort)
\nTaking in pride in your product
\n(Or are you just fu-uct)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nDo you have the spark
\n(To work)
\nOff on a lark
\n(Or jerk)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nBefore you go
\nI’d like to know
\n(Hobo… or tramp)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDo you support support
\n(Are you in that cohort)
\nTaking in pride in your product
\n(Or are you just fu-uct)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\n(So…)
\nBefore you go
\nWe’d love to know
\n(Tramp or hobo?)<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nDo you support support
\n(Are you in that cohort)
\nTaking in pride in your product
\n(Or are you just fu-uct)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n(So…)
\nWhere ever you go
\n(Travel like a hobo)
\nThere ya go
\n(… that’ll work)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG
\nA hobo is a migratory worker who travels from place to place, taking short-term jobs to support their travels, while a tramp is a migratory non-worker who travels but avoids work, depending on other means of support. The key difference lies in their relationship with work: hobos work as they travel, taking pride in their work ethic, whereas tramps travel to travel and prefer not to work.<\/p>\n
