The times are getting rough
Getting money's getting tough
Grocery's getting high
It's getting hard getting by
The pantry may be bare
But I've got you
I'll figure it out
And we'll make do
We don't need that much
If we gotta can of love
My work is getting slow
I may be furloughed
and bill collector calls
give me no rest at all
my wallet may be light ...
just pull it out
and open it up
take off the lid
and open it up
put the sauce pan on
and open it up
we don't need that much
if we gotta can of love
they say this recession
may be a depression
things don't look bright
no relief in sight
my hopes may be scarce ...
