[Chorus]
It's welfare music
Watch the baby dance
To that welfare music
Will she ever stand a chance?
[Verse 1]
Quit school when she was seventeen
Senator on TV calls her "welfare queen"
Used to be daddy's little girl
Now she needs help in this mean old world
Buys cassette tapes in the bargain bin
Loves Carlene Carter and Loretta Lynn
Tries to have fun on a Saturday night
Sunday morning don't shine so bright
[Chorus]
It's welfare music
Watch the baby dance
To that welfare music
Will she ever stand a chance?
[Verse 2]
It takes two to make three, but one ain't here
Still chasing women and drinking beer
Says nobody understands how he feels
But that don't pay them monthly bills
[Verse 3]
Angry fat man on the radio
Wants to keep his taxes way down low
He says there oughta be a law
Angriest man that you ever saw
[Chorus]
It's welfare music
Watch the baby dance
To that welfare music
Will she ever stand a chance?
[Verse 4]
Baby dance circles on the floor
'Round and 'round just like before
Baby fall down, baby get up
Baby needs a sip from the loving cup
[Chorus]
It's welfare music
Watch the baby dance
To that welfare music
Will she ever stand a chance?
It's welfare music
Watch the baby dance
To that welfare music
Will she ever stand a chance?
Will she ever stand a chance?
