Lyrics

Quit school when she was 17
 Senator on TV calls her welfare queen
 Used to be daddy's little girl
 Now she needs help in this mean ol' 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 too bright
 It's welfare music
 Watch the baby dance
 To the welfare music
 Will she ever stand a chance?
 ♪
 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 the monthly bills
 Angry fat man on the radio
 Wants to keep his taxes way down low
 Says there oughta be a law
 Angriest man you ever saw
 Welfare music
 Just watch the baby dance
 To the welfare music
 Well she ever stand a chance?
 ♪
 Baby dance circles on the floor
 'Round and 'round just like before
 Baby fall down, baby get up
 Baby needs a drink from a lovin' cup
 It's welfare music
 Watch the baby dance
 To the welfare music
 When she ever stand a chance?
 Welfare music
 Just watch the baby dance
 To the welfare music
 Will she ever stand a chance?
