Living on free food tickets Watering the milk from the hole in the roof 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 goin' to buy you a dream to cling to Mommy's gonna love you just 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 just 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
