Must be getting early

Clocks are running late

Paint by Number morning sky

Looks so phony

Dawn is breaking everywhere

Light a candle, curse the glare

Draw the curtains, I don't care, cause

It's all right

I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive

I see you've got your list out

Say your piece and get out

Yes I get the gist of it, but

It's all right

Sorry that you feel that way,

The only thing there is to say

Every silver lining's got a

Touch of grey

I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive

It's a lesson to me

The Ables and the Bakers and the C's

The ABC's we all must face

To try to keep a little grace

It's a lesson to me,

The Deltas and the East and the Freeze

The ABC's we all think of,

To try to win a little love

I know the rent is in arrears,

The dog has not been fed in years

It's even worse than it appears,

It's all right

Cow is giving kerosene,

Kid can't read at seventeen

The words he knows are all obscene, but

It's all right

I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive

The shoe is on the hand it fits,

There's really nothing much to it

Whistle through your teeth and spit, 'cause

It's all right

Oh well a touch of grey

Kinda suits you anyway,

That was all I had to say, and

It's all right

I will get by, I will get by, I will get by, I will survive

We will get by, we will get by, we will get by, we will survive

We will get by, we will get by, we will get by, we will survive
