What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I hardly had a bellyful
2
Never knew a new bicycle
3
Hand-me-down books and shoes
4
They brought the yule tides in July
5
I rode a bus, a train and sometimes
6
Strolling for miles to a movie show
7
Singing a song "Shoobedoo"
8
While birds and rich folks flew right on by
9
But we got by, we got by
10
We got by, Lord knows we got by
11
Winter wishes wait till June
12
We brightened July with that hot dog fun
13
Tell your mama you're with Sue
14
You bring the beans and I will find the wine
15
Them neon lights were bright till 2:00
16
And sneaking back home with this girl named Jo
17
I hurried down to say I do
18
And stared my first man-child in the eye
19
But we got by, we got by
20
We got by, Lord knows we got by
21
Sometimes I say
22
And now baby's got his bellyful y'all
23
And finally here's that new bicycle
24
Working, praying, June to June
25
And mama's got L.A. gleaming in her eye
26
And we got by, we got by, yeah
27
We got by, Lord knows we got by
28
See we kept on walking and talking and hawking
29
And ooing, and cooing, and wooing
30
Loving, and tugging, and hugging
31
And a rubbing and sugging, and fugging
32
Laying, praying, swaying, letting
33
And fretting, and betting, begetting
34
Lying, and flying, and trying
35
And dying, and sighing
36
We got by, yes, we got by
37
We got by, yeah, let's now help me sing
38
By and by, by and by
39
By and by, by and by
40
Oh, we gonna sweet, sweet by, and didn't we get there?
41
By, by, by, by
42
Thank you mama provided, thank you papa
43
'Causing me to tremble
