Living on free food ticket
Water in the milk from the holes in the roof
When the rain came through
What can you do? Oh oh oh
Tears from your little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
But a patch, oh poor little girl
What do you know, she'll get by
For she's been living in the love of a common people
Smiles on the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you twinkle, twinkle
Mummy's gonna love till as much as she can
It's a good thing you don't have a bus fare
It will fall through the holes in your pocket
And you lose it to the snow on the ground
You got to walk into town to find a job
Trying to keep your hands warm
But the holes in your shoes
And the snow comes through
Boy chills you to the bone
I say you better go home
Where you'll be warm
And you will live in the love of a common people
Smiles on the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you twinkle twinkle
Mummy's gonna love you till as much as she can
She can! She can! She can
She can! She can! She can
Living on dreams ain't easy
The clothes underneath
The tighter they fit and the chill stay away
You got to put on your stride family pride
You know that faith is your foundation
With a whole lot of love
And a warm conversation all over the place
I say you better go home
Where you'll be strong
And you will live in the love of a common people
Smiles on the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you twinkle, twinkle
Mummy's gonna love till as much as she can
She can! She can! She can
She can! She can! She can
