We haven't got a pot to cook in 
No looking glass to look in 
But our dreams are sweet 
We seldom eat 

We can live on love... 
We haven't got a bed to sleep in 
To count our little sheep in 
But our hopes are great 

And we can wait while we live on love.... 
Though you may feel we ought to deal 
With such realitites: 
No house, no lot, no car - so what? 

That's trivialities! 
We haven't got a check to cash in 
No pot to put our hash in 
But we've got that thing 

That comes in spring: 
We can live on love!
