  Living  on free food tickets
  Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
  Where the rain  came through
  What can you do?  hmm hmm
  Tears  from little sister
  Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
  Without a patch for the party  to go
  Oh but you know,she'll  get by
   She is living  in the love of the common  people
  Smiles from the heart of a family man
  Daddy's  gonna buy her a dream  to cling  to
  Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as  she can
 (a tone higher)
  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
  A walkin' to town  to find a job
  Trying  to keep your hands warm
  But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
  And the chills  to the bone
  Oh,you better go home  where it's warm
   Where 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
  Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as  she can
 (a tone higher)
  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 that faith  is your foundation
  And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
  And plenty  of prayer
  Making you strong,where  you belong
   Where you can live  in the love of the common  people
  Be the pride in the heart of a family  man
  Daddy's  gonna buy you a dream  to cling  to
  Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can,as  she can
