Lyrics
I work, I’ve got a job
I sleep and eat
I don’t yell, “Down with this
Down with that” on the street
I’m just a peaceful mug
Tired and flat
Oh! But gee!
There must be more to life than that
Refrain:
Just a little bit more
More than a bed to rest in
More than the clothes I’m dressed in
Just a little bit more
What new deal am I for?
More love is what I’m after
More of a thing called laughter
Just a little bit more
Pay day, the day I long to buy
Books I won’t even read
Tell me, why is it wrong to buy
A hat I don’t really need?
Just a little bit more
More time to waste on dreaming
Not on dreaming of too much of anything
Just a little bit more
