| 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 | |
| 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 the beans and I'll | |
| find the wine | |
| Them neon lights were bright | |
| till 2:00 | |
| And sneaking back home with | |
| this girl named Jo | |
| I hurried down to say do" | |
| And stared my first man-child | |
| in the eye | |
| But we got by | |
| Lord knows we got by | |
| 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 | |
| Lord knows we got by | |
| You see we kept on walking | |
| and talking, hawking | |
| Ooing, cooing, wooing | |
| Loving, tugging, hugging, rubbing | |
| Sugging, fugging, laying, praying, swaying | |
| Letting, fretting, begetting, lying | |
| Flying, trying, sighing, dying. |
