[Chorus]
They took the children's bread and they give it to the dogs
Took the children's bread and give it to the dogs
They took the children's bread and they give it to the dogs
Making so many peoples' lives so hard

[Verse 1]
While those cats get fat, in came all the rats
Stole away the cheese and doing as they please
Jack Spratt ate all that fat and his wife ate all the lean
So between the both, you see, they licked the platter clean

[Chorus]
They took the children's bread and they give it to the dogs
They took the children's bread and give it to the dogs
They took the children's bread and they give it to the dogs
Making so many peoples' lives so hard

[Verse 2]
Now there's a gathering on Main Street, shuffling on Wall Street
To a new drum beat, turning up the heat
Now the weak get strong, singing a new song
Time has come for us to right the wrong

[Chorus]
They took the children's bread and they give it to the dogs
Took the children's bread and give it to the dogs
They took the children's bread and they give it to the dogs
Making so many peoples' lives so hard
[Bridge]
Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh
Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh
Whoa, whoa, whoa-oh
Whoa-oh

[Chorus]
They took the children's bread and they give it to the dogs
They took the children's bread and give it to the dogs
They took the children's bread and they give it to the dogs
Making so many peoples' lives so hard
