When we need little things like food

And I'm gonna have to spend my birthday money
C majorC      D MajorD     G+G
 To pay the telephone bill

This is what you call in a groove

Oh, it's our little way of feeling big

When you can't be big for real

And we do deserve these material things

We're afflicted with a love and high class dreams
  C majorC     D MajorD    G+G
