We\u2019ll put the big pot in the little one
\nPeople gather \u2018round, we\u2019re gonna have some fun
\nThere\u2019ll be food enough for everyone
\nIf we put the big pot in the little one<\/p>\n

Something that my mama always used to say
\nWhen people unexpectedly came by to stay
\nWhisking up a meal from what we had on hand
\nActing that\u2019s the way we always had it planned<\/p>\n

Go out in the garden gather up some peas
\nBake a few potatoes and some biscuits, please
\nBy the dot of seven everyone is fed
\nWe can all remember what my mama said<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll put the big pot in the little one
\nFamily gather \u2018round, we\u2019re gonna have some fun
\nThere\u2019ll be food enough for everyone
\nIf we put the big pot in the little one<\/p>\n

All across the country folks are out of work
\nYour farmers and your laborers, your retail clerks
\nKids go off to school without a decent meal
\nAin\u2019t no way to learn the way their stomachs feel<\/p>\n

Seems we need to open up the way we live
\nAnd look beyond ourselves to see what we might give
\nIn this land of plenty we can get it done
\nIf we put the big pot in the little one<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll put the big pot in the little one
\nPeople gather \u2018round, we\u2019re gonna have some fun
\nThere\u2019ll be food enough for everyone
\nIf we put the big pot in the little one<\/p>\n
