Living on free food tickets

Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through,
What can we do? Mmm
Tears from your baby sister,

Cryin' 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go,
Ah but you know she'll get by,

Because she's living in the love of the common people,
Smiles from the heart of a family man,
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can,
And she can

It's a good thing you don't have busfare,

it would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground,
Walking to the town to find a jo
Trying to keep your hands warm,

But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through
And it chills to the bone,
Boy you better go home where it's warm

And you can live in the love of the common people,
Smiles from the heart of a family man,
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can,
And she can

Living on dreams ain't easy,
but the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away,
You take them in stride, family pride
You know, faith is your foundation

With a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation and many a prayer,
making you strong where you belong

Living in the love of the common people,
Smiles from the heart of a family man,
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can,
Yeah

Living in the love of the common people,
Smiles from the heart of a family man,
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can,

Yeah (repeat chorus and fade)

(or end with the following)
And she can
