I hardly had a bellyful

Never knew a new bicycle

Hand me down books and shoes

They brought the yule tides in July

I rode a bus a train and sometimes

Strolling for miles to a movie show

Singing a song Shoobedoo

While birds and rich folks flew

Right on by

But we got by

We got by

We got by

Lord knows we got by

Winter wishes wait till June

We brightened July with

That hot dog fun

Tell your mama you're with Sue

You bring some beans girl and I'll

Find some wine

And them neon lights were bright

Till 2:00

And sneaking back home with

This girl named Jo

I hurried down to say I do

And I stared my first man-child

In the eye

But we got by

Got by

Lord knows we got by

And sometimes I'll be singing

And now baby's got his bellyful

And finally here's that new bicycle

Working praying June to June

And mama's got la gleaming

In her eye

And we got by

Got by

Got by

Lord knows we got by

You see we kept on walking

And talking and hawking

And ooing and cooing and wooing

Loving and tugging and hugging and rubbing

And sugging and fugging and laying and praying and swaying

And letting and fretting and begetting and lying

And flying trying dying and trying and sighing
