(Ah, ay-a)
(Puttin' on, puttin' on, puttin' on)
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 because she doesn't have a dress without a patch
For the party to go
But you know she'll get by
'Cause 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 her just as much as she can
And she can
It's a good thing you don't have busfare
It would fall thru' the hole in your pocket and you'd lose it
In the snow on the ground (Ah, ay-a)
You got to walk into town to find a job
Tryin' to keep your hands warm (It's so cold)
When the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And chills you to the bone
Now you'd better go home where it's warm
Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smile 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
Living on a dream ain't easy
But the closer the knit the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away (Ah, ay-a)
You take 'em in stride for family pride
You know that faith is in your foundation (Puttin' on, puttin' on, puttin' on)
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation
But don't forget to pray (Forget to pray)
It's making it strong where you belong
And we're live 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 her just as much as she can
And she can
Yes, we're 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 her just as much as she can
Living in the love of the common people
Smile's from the heart on a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love you just as much as she can
Living in the love of the common people
Smile's really hard on a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mama's gonna love her just as much as she can
And she can
