lyrics
Do What You Do (With What You've Got)
Phil Doleman
There ain’t no doubt that money, can buy you all kinds of stuff
Get you some lunch, pay your bills but for some that just ain’t enough
They want more than they can spend, and brother that’s a lot
But when push comes to shove, you’ve gotta do what you do with what you've got
With what you've got, with what you've got
But when push comes to shove, you’ve gotta do what you do with what you've got
The TV man will tell you, the latest thing you need
And your life will be so much better, that gadget will set you free
When your fancy turntable plays that old song and the music sounds so hot
Just remember that they did what they did, with what they’d got
With what you got, with what they got
Just remember that they did what they did, with what they’d got
Diamond encrusted trainers, won’t make you run no faster
And songs don’t come out better on no gold-plated Stratocaster
And if you think they are the answer, there’s something you forgot
But when push comes to shove, you’ve gotta do what you do with what you've got
With what you've got, with what you've got
But when push comes to shove, you’ve gotta do what you do with what you've got
