We got too many do goods and not enough hard working men
|
We got too many hands out and not enough lendin' a hand
|
We got too many thinkers looking for the answer in the wind
|
Hey we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men
|
|
We got poets and prophets and some folks are readin' the stars
|
If we'd look a little closer to home we might find who we are
|
We got all kinds of sermons in booklets and pamphlets on sin
|
Hey we got too many do goods and not enough hard working men
|
We got too many do goods...
|
|
We got clubs and committees who know all about wrong and right
|
Oh but I've seen some children who starved plumb to death on advice
|
I appreciate your sympathy and I believe in missionary work
|
But a little bit of bendin' down and pickin' up your brother wouldn't hurt
|
We got too many do goods...
