Lyrics

[Verse 1] Young Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard But the cupboard was bare, she paused a moment there She thought about her kids and she thought about their eyes And she thanked Christ for the lunches that the school supplied But there wasn't any dinner and did she have it in her Could she sneak around the store and she steal a little more? Cuz that junk of a manager caught her before But she was quicker than him but droppеd the steaks on the floor, hеy hey hey [Chorus] Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through That's the truth Ruth Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through You gots to eat Pete Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through Ain't no mercy Percy Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through Ain't I ain't, you know, Kitten [Verse 2] She stared in the mirror as she put on her big pants Stuff 'em real good if she only got the chance Looked at the guage she was low on gas Thought about the landlord, he's been staring at her ass Sure was cold in the freezer aisle The grocery boy stared, she fixed him with a smile Some of her friends were living in a box She thought about that, she stole another chop [Chorus] Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through That's the fact Jack Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through Bottom line Einstein Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through Isn't it clear Shakespeare Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through I ain't lyin' Brian [Verse 3] She was headed home with the backseat full The security guard she had to give a little pull She cleaned her hands as she made plans When the kids saw the food they would do handstands Covered for a week, where's the stimulus checks? Don't think about the rent you become a nervous wreck She let the top of her thong beckon from her pants Beneath the landlords window where she knew he'd give a glance, hey hey hey, oh Lord [Chorus] Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through Swallow your pride Clyde Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through Your dignity's intact Zack Sometimes you gotta do want ya gotta do to get through Things have got freaky Enrique Won't affect your soul Raoul I oughta know Joe I could do this all day Ray
