GLiving on free food tickets, water in the milk
from the hole in the roof where the Frain came
through..what can you Cdo?..mmm-hmmm-Dhmmm.
GTears from your little sister, crying cause she
doesn't have a dress without a patch for the Fparty
to go..oh, but you Cknow, she'll get Dby.
CHORUS:
Because she's Gliving in the love of the Ccommon Dpeople.
GSmiles from the heart of the Cfamily Dman.
GDaddy's gonna buy her a Cdream to Dcling to.
GMama's gonna love her just as Cmuch as she Dcan, and
she Gcan.
#2.
It's a Agood thing you don't have bus fare, it would
fall through the hole in your pocket and you'll lose
it in the Gsnow on the ground..walk into Dtown to find
a Ejob.
ATrying to keep your hands warm, but the hole in your
shoe let the snow come through and it Gchills you to
the bone..boy, you better go Dhome where it's Ewarm.
CHORUS:
Where you can Alive in the love of the Dcommon Epeople.
ASmiles from the heart of a Dfamily Eman.
ADaddy's gonna buy you a Ddream to Ecling to.
AMama's gonna love you just as Dmuch as she Ecan, and

#3.
BLiving on dreams ain't easy, but the closer the knit
the tighter the fit and the Achills stay away.
I can take them in Estride, for family Gbpride.
You know that Bfaith is your foundation and with a whole
lot of love and a warm conversation, Amaybe a prayer,
making you Estrong..where you beGblong.
CHORUS:
Where you can Blive in the love of the Ecommon Gbpeople.
BSmiles from the heart of a Efamily Gbman.
BDaddy's gonna buy you a Edream to Gbcling to.
BMama's gonna love you just as Emuch as she Gbcan.
OUTRO:
BLiving in the love of the Ecommon Gbpeople..Bsmiles from
the heart of the Efamily Gbman.
BDaddy's gonna buy you a Edream to Gbcling to.
BMama's gonna love you just as Emuch as she Gbcan..(Fade.)
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
