The original never released version of The Beatles baroque pop classic "Eleanor Rigby". John and Paul wrote this song together about one of the very few things they fully agreed on; their absolute disdain for panhandlers and the home impaired. George and Ringo later convinced John and Paul to rewrite the song, being concerned with backlash from fans for "punching down".

LYRICS

Ah, look at all the homeless people
Ah, look at all the homeless people

Eleanor *igby picks up the cans at the church where a wedding has been
She likes to scream
Waits at the subway, asking for change that she keeps in a jar by the door
Now she wants more

All the home-less people
Where did they all come from?
All the home-less people
Don't give change to those bums

Father NicKenzie mumbling the words of a sermon while he drinks a beer
No one goes near
Look at him jerking, dangling his d*ng in the day when there's everyone there
He does not care

All the homeless people
Where did they all come from?
All the homeless people
Don't give change to those bums

Ah, look at all the homeless people
Ah, look at all the homeless people

Eleanor *igby stood at the church to ask if you can spare any change
Nobody gave
Father NicKenzie wiping the sh*t from his a** as he squats in a daze
He needs to bathe

All the homeless people
Where did they all come from?
All the homeless people
Don't give change to those bums
