Living on free food tickets,
water in the milk from a hole in the roof
where the rain came through.
What can you do? mmm-mmmmm
Tears from your little sister,
crying because she doesn't have a dress without a patch
for the party to go.
But you know she'll get by
'cause she's living in the love of the common people,
smile's from the heart of a family man.
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love it just as much as she can [it's sooo coooooold]
and she can.
It's a good thing you don't have busfare [it's a good thing .. aaaaach],
it would fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
in the snow on the ground [aah ooh aah aah eee aaah].
You got to walk into town to find a job [what's a knob].
Tryin' to keep your hands warm [it's sooo coooooold]
when the hole in your shoe lets the snow come thru'
and chills you to the bone [brrrr chaaaa].
So now you'd better go home where it's warm,
where you can live in the love of the common people,
smile from the heart of a family man [aah aah eee aaah].
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love it just as much as she can [it's sooo coooooold]
and she can.
Living on a dream ain't easy
but the closer the knit [the closer the knit] the tighter the fit
and the chills stay away [aah ooh aah aah eee aaah].
You keep 'em in stride for family pride.
You know that faith is your foundation [ooh naa ooh naa ooh naa]
and with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
but don't forget to pray [forget to pray].
Making you strong where you belong
and we're living in the love of the common people,
smile's really hard on a family man [what's a knob].
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love it just as much as she can [it's sooo cooooold]
and she can.
Yes, we're living in the love of the
common people,
smile's from the heart of a family man [aah aah eee ahh].
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama's gonna love it just as much as she can [it's sooo cooooold].
