Lyrics:
It must be getting earlyClocks are running latePaint by numbers morning skyLooks so phonyDawn is breaking everywhereLight a candle, curse the glareDraw the curtains, I don't care'Cause it's alrightI will get by (x3)I will surviveI see you got your list outSay your piece and get outYes I got the gist of itBut it's alrightSorry that you feel that wayThe only thing there is to sayEvery silver lining's got aTouch of greyIt's a lesson to meThe Ables and the Bakers and the C'sThe A B C'sWe all must faceAnd try to keep a little graceI know the rent is in arrearsThe dog has not been fed in yearsIt's even worse than it appearsBut it's alrightCows are giving keroseneThe kid can't read at seventeenThe words he knows are all obsceneBut it's alrightI will get by (x3)I will surviveIt's a lesson to meThe Deltas and the East and the FreezeThe A B C'sWe all think ofAnd try to keep a little loveThe shoe is on the hand it fitsThere's really nothing much to itWhistle through your teeth and split'Cause it's alrightI will get by (x3)I will surviveWe will get by (x3)We will survive
