WHAT WE DO

Her baby’s gonna make a little living
Down at the circus stand
Well he ain’t no scholar
But for the extra dollar
He’ll use those big strong hands

His baby’s gonna make a little living
down by Chelsea Road
Well she’ll sell cut flowers
for a few small hours
And leave the sweet smell on her clothes

CHORUS
And they can make ends meet
With a good strong love
And all the gifts they have
From the Lord above
Will find their place
When the time is due
But for now we’ll do what we have to do
Right now we’ll do what we do.

Her baby’s gonna make a little living,
Down at the old folks home
Well there’s milk honey biscuits
a little money for his fixings
And smiles all around when his done

And maybe she can make a little living
Down at the local store,
Well she’ll make big talk
with people who are small –
minded about it all.

CHORUS
And maybe they could make a little living
Playing songs on their guitars,
Well for a few small coins
Some say what is the point
But the joys been filling up their jar.
