Looking for remainder of lyrics to Alix Hood's tune. All I remember is

If you wanna eat your crackers in bed, you're gonna have to sleep with crumbs

And if you're gonna roll with the punches, you better learn to take what comes.

Used to hear her perform it 30 years ago at the Gaslight. Thanks.

Jo Mapes used to sing this around Chicago about 40 years ago. She has been doing duo shows with the venerable Gerry Armstrong & it's too damn long since I talked to Jo. Sooooo, I'll check in with Gerry, get Ms. Jo's phone number, and get back here soon...

If you're gonna eat your crackers in bed
You're gonna hafts sleep with crumbs
And if you're gonna go with any old guy
You're gonna have to take what comes

Bought you a bicycle for five dollars down
And baby now you're pedaling all over town
And if you're you're gonna roll like a Rollin' stone
Baby it takes a lot of gall

Something something something something
And baby that ain't all
You can love me and another that's true
But 5-6-7-8 that just won't do

And if you're gonna go and eat your crackers in bed
You're gonna have to sleep with crumbs.
