“Make do with what you got”
All my life I've heard that a lot
Been takin’ care of business that way
But this old buggy is begginin' to fray
I'll tell you true
I wanta make do with somethin' new
Played the cards that I was dealt
Nothin’ left in my money belt
I want a new deal here and now
Tired of waitin’ anyhow
I'll say this to you
I wanta make do with somethin' new
Make do with somethin’ new
That's what I'm gonna do
Brand new is what I want
Can't use this broke down rig I got
Go ahead and roll the dice
The postman always rings the bell twice
But the prize hasn't made it to me
Bet they’d ship it C.O.D., postage due
I wanta make do with somethin' new
Make do with somethin’ new
That’s what I'm gonna do
Brand new is what I want
Can't use this broke down rig I got
Fight a war with the army you got
Well I gave it my best shot
I always said I’d never give in
But that was when I was young and trim
Let me give you a clue
I wanta make do with somethin’ new
Hold on to that shoe
I wanta make do with somethin’ new
