They took the children's bread And give it to the dogs Took the children's bread And give it to the dogs They took the children's bread And give it to the dogs Makin' so many peoples lives so hard Now while those cats get fat In came all the rats Stole away the cheese And doing as they please Jack Spratt ate all the fat His wife ate all the lean And so between the both, you see They licked the platter clean, so They took the children's bread And give it to the dogs They took the children's bread And give it to the dogs They took the children's bread And give it to the dogs Makin' so many peoples lives so hard We're singing Now there's a gathering on Main Street Shuffling on Wall Street To a new drum beat Turning up the heat, now Now the weak get strong Singing a new song Time has come for us to right the wrong They took the children's bread, hey And give it to the dogs They took the children's bread And give it to the dogs I say they took the children's bread And give it to the dogs Makin' so many peoples lives so hard We're singing They took the children's bread, hey And give it to the dogs They took the children's bread And give it to the dogs They took the children's bread And give it to the dogs Makin' so many peoples lives so hard, hey Makin' so many peoples lives so hard, hey Makin' so many peoples lives so hard
