Professional Beggar — Everybody Loves Money — Scarlett Sky

Professional Beggar — Scarlett Sky

From the album Everybody Loves Money

She has a cup, a corner, a good eye for expensive coats, and no intention of getting a regular job.

Professional Beggar follows a woman who treats begging like a profession: study the traffic, remember the generous ones, improve the presentation, and never waste a promising pocket.

Pennies are charming. Quarters are nice. Dollars are better. A red ribbon improves the look, wealthy gentlemen are worth remembering, and one day there may even be a Mercedes-Benz.

She flatters, competes, keeps score, gets jealous when another woman distracts a good customer, and knows exactly when to ask twice.

“Some girls fall for diamonds, some fall for men.
I fall for a pocket that opens again.”

A sharp little vintage cabaret number about a woman who knows exactly what she is doing—and rather likes the job.
