But there's one thing
GAm
They can't take away
C
Hear the sea sing
GAm
See a smiling face
C
I think we're OK
GAm
Though we all could be mad

That's what they say

We just can't all be bad
*GG/BG/EG/D
I got something now to think about
*CC/BAm
I'll work all day but not to pay it out
GGAmAm
Keep on working

And there's another whirl
GAm
They can't ever touch
C
Just need a boy and girl
GAm
It don't cost you much
C
And if your luck is in
GAm
You might have kids at play
C
To make you laugh and sing
