Intro We didn't have much but we had enough Life goes slow when you do it tough If we didn't have it, then we'd just make do Use something old to build something new Verse1 Hot powdered milk on weetbix, start the day of right Sometimes bread and milk for dinner, was all we had at night Sunday there was always roast, and spuds with crispy skin I couldn't wait to say our grace, so I could tuck right in Verse 2 Old out house out the back, past the clothes line on a stick Mulberry tree and passion fruit vine, with chokos growing thick Tomato's and native apples, nuts hanging high on the tree Crabs and fish from dads old barge, a feast for the family Chorus Yeah we didn't have much but we had enough If we didn't have it we'd make do The garden grew, the old house stood We all found a way to get on through Back then I thought we were poor But a house, a garden, food on the table Apart from love, we couldn't want more Verse 3 Sunlight soap in the laundry, Sunlight soap in the tub Wash our hair, clean the dishes And give our teeth a scrub One hair brush to share around And straw mattresses on the ground With mozzie nets tucked in tight To keep the bugs away at night Verse 4 We'd walk for miles to find a place Where we could just get cool Then trudge back home in the heat The garden hose was our pool The laundry was a two kid job One to feed and one to turn The old roller washing machine A hard task for me to learn Chorus Yeah we didn't have much but we had enough If we didn't have it we'd make do The garden grew, the old house stood We all found a way to get on through Back then I thought we were poor But a house, a garden, food on the table Apart from love, we couldn't want more Bridge With hand me down clothes And hand me down dreams We all managed to get through With stitched up socks And holey shoes We did what we had to do Final verse From helping mum pulling weeds To working with dad on the car Mowing lawns and climbing trees I now know how lucky we are We didn't have riches, or money to waste But I know I'm who I am I'm content with my life 'Cause I had a solid base back then Chorus Yeah we didn't have much but we had enough If we didn't have it we'd make do The garden grew, the old house stood We all found a way to get on through Back then I thought we were poor But a house, a garden, food on the table Apart from love, we couldn't want more Outro We may not have much, but we have enough And we'll find a way to get through After all life is what you make it And I'm sure that we'll make do
