*Released 1970*
Intro:
,
Verse 1:
Living on free food tickets,
Water in the milk from a hole in the roof,
Where the rain came through; what can you do?
Tears from your little sister,
Crying cos she doesn t have a dress without a patch,
For the party to go, but you know, she ll get by.
Chorus 1:
Cos she s living in the love of the common people;
Smile s from the heart of a family man.
Daddy s gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama s gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.
Interlude:
Verse 2:
It s a good thing you don t have a bus fare;
It would fall through the hole in your pocket,
And you d lose it in the snow on the ground;
You got to walk into town, to find a job.
Tryin to keep your hands warm,
When the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through,
And chills you to the bone.
So now you d better go home, where it s warm.
Chorus 2:
Cos she s living in the love of the common people;
Smile s from the heart of a family man.
Daddy s gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama s gonna love you just as much as she can, and she can.

Verse 3:
Living on a dream ain t easy,
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit,
And the chills stay away;
You take em in stride, for family pride.
You know that faith is your foundation,
With a whole lot of love and a warm conversation,
But, don t forget to pray;
Just make it strong, where you be-long.
Chorus 3:
Where you can live in a love of the common people,
Smile s from the heart of a family man.
Daddy s gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama s gonna love you just as much as she can.
Chorus 4:
You can live in a love of the common people,
Smile s from the heart of a family man.
Daddy s gonna buy you a dream to cling to,
Mama s gonna love you just as much as she can.
