Necessity

Put your shoulders to the wheel

Oh, oh, oh, well, well

Oh gosh

Your shoulders to the wheel

You can't wait for things to fall from the sky

You want to achieve, you've got to try

People got to work in the burning sun

Some in snow, while some struggle in the rain

See, you've got to work for the things life requires

Yes, you've got to work for the things you need

Oh gosh, necessity

Necessity

Necessity

Oh, necessity

Your desire won't come to you by sitting down

No, that's not the way Pastor got his gown

Remember, food must eat and clothes must wear

Work honestly for your bread and have no fear

Necessity

Necessity

Necessity

Oh, necessity

Necessity

Necessity

Necessity

Oh, necessity

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Put your shoulders to the wheel

It's so good to have things of your own

Don't you try to stand on another man's feet

Don't tell me you can't when I know you can make it

Once there's life, there's hope, we've got to face it

Necessity

Necessity

Necessity

Necessity

Oh, necessity

Oh, necessity

Necessity

Necessity

Oh gosh

You can't wait for things to fall from the sky

If you want to achieve, you've got to try

People got to work in the burning sun

Some in snow, while some struggle in the rain

See, you've got to work for the things that life requires

Yes, you've got to work for the things you need

Necessity

Oh, necessity
