[Verse] Six kids in a one-room shack A roof that leaks and walls that crack Dinner's thin but love is thick Mama’s prayers are our only trick [Chorus] One pair of underwear We pass it round like we don’t care Monday me Tuesday Lou Wednesday it’s Jimmy’s turn too [Verse 2] Hand-me-downs and patched-up shoes Every day’s a game we lose But we laugh and we make do A circus act in a torn-up zoo [Prechorus] Hold it tight don’t let it tear Our prized possession—one pair [Chorus] One pair of underwear Round and round we all declare Thursday Joe Friday Sue Saturday it’s Benny’s debut [Bridge] Sunday’s free we hang it dry Flappin’ like a flag on high Neighbors see they just might cry But we’re the richest family alive
