Living on free food tickets

Water in the milk from a hole in the roof

Where the rain came through

What can they do?

Tears from your baby sister

Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress without a patch

For the party to go

But you know she'll get by

Because she is living in the love of the common people

Smiles from the heart of a family man

Daddy's buying you a dream to cling to

Mummy's gonna love her just as much as she can

and she can

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

It would fall through the hole in your pocket

And you'd loose it on the snow on the ground

Walking to town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm

But the hole in the shoe lets the snow come through

And it chills to the bone

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 gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can

and she can

Living on dreams ain't easy

But the closer the knit the tighter the fit

And the chill 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 gonna buy you a dream to cling to

Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can

Living 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

Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can
