I'm on the beam, I've got a flash On how to live in the civilization To make a dream come out of hash Give a little, get a little love A morning smile, an evening kiss Can be the pills for the ills of the nation Don't cramp your style, remember this Give a little, get a little love No love, no hope Then life's a dungeon so throw the sponge in With love there's hope Sing hey hallelujah So take a share and share the fun And keep the cold from this whole constellation It's everywhere for everyone Make a little, take a little Take a little, live a little Give a little, get a little love You carry on, tied in a knot To earn the pay that your neighbor is earning But when it's gone, what have you got Give a little, get a little love You never think till there's a storm And till the real things you feel like returning You know that mink won't keep you warm Give a little, get a little love No love, no joy Then life's a nuisance and not worth two cents With love, there's joy Sing hey hallelujah So take a share and share the fun And keep the cold from this whole constellation It's everywhere, for everyone Make a little, take a little Take a little, live a little Give a little, get a little love No joy, no joy Give a little, get a little Give a little, get a little Make a little, take a little Live a little, give a little Give a little, get a little love

In a world like today It's a rare occasion to be able To see young mothers like the ones That were around when I grew up But they live on in memory To quite a few of us And this song is dedicated To those who cherish that memory Early one Sunday morning Breakfast was on the table There was no time to eat She said to me, "Boy, hurry to Sunday school" Filled with her load of glory We learned the holy story She'll always have her dreams Despite the things this troubled world can bring Oh, Sadie Don't you know we love you Sweet Sadie Place no one above you Sweet Sadie (well, well, well) Living in the past Some times it seems so funny But no money will turn your life around Sweeter than cotton candy Stronger than papa's old brandy Always that needed smile Once in awhile she would break down and cry Some times she'd be so happy Just being with us and daddy Standing the worst of times Breaking the binds with just a simple song Oh, Sadie (oh, Sadie, baby) Don't you know we love you (she'll love us all in a special way) Sweet Sadie (well, well, well) Place no one above you Sweet Sadie (sweet Sadie livin' in the past) Living in the past Oh, she's never sinnin' In love she's always winnin, yeah Sadie (My, my, my, my, my) Don't you know we love you (I love you, mama) Sweet Sadie Place no one above you (I just can't forget) Sweet Sadie (how you gave me love, oh, Lord) Living in the past If there's a heaven up above I know she's teaching angels how to love Sadie (It's a mean world without you) Don't you know we love you Sweet Sadie (all the love you showed) Place no one above you (oh, I could never, ever doubt her lovely word) Sweet Sadie Living in the past Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money It's just the love you gave us all
