Living on free food tickets

Watering the milk from the hole in the rool

Where the rain came through

What can we do?

Tears from your baby sister crying

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 going to buy you a dream to cling to

Mommy's gonna love you as much as she can, and she can



It's a good thing you don't have bus fare

It would fall through the hole in your pocket

And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground

Walkin' to town to find a job



Tryin' 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 goin' to buy you a dream to cling to

Mummy's goin' to love you as much as she can

And she can



Livin' 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 goin' to buy you a dream to cling to

Mummy's goin' to 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 goin' to buy you a dream to cling to

Mummy's goin' to love you just as much as she can

Yeah
