Arlo Guthrie - A Little A This N That lyrics

words and music by Pete Seeger My grandma she can make a soup With a little a this n that She can feed the whole sloop group With a little a this n that Stone soup! You know the story Stone soup! Who needs the glory? But with grandma cookin no need to worry! Just a little a this n that Grandma likes to make a garden grow With a little a this n that But she likes to have the ground just so With a little a this n that Not too loose and not too firm In the spring it s all got to be turned In the fall lots of compost to feed the worms With a little a this n that Grandma knows we can build a future With a little a this n that And a few arguments never never hurt ya With a little a this n that True this world's in a hell of a fix And some say oil and water don't mix But they don't know a saladmaker's tricks With a little a this n that The world to come may be like a song With a little a this n that To make everybody want to sing along With a little a this n that A little dissonance ain't no sin A little skylarking to give us all a grin Who knows But God's got a plan for the people to win With a little a this n that repeat 1st verse
