My friend Carlos lost his job
Working nights at the chicken shop
He picked himself back up again
Finding bits and pieces of odds and ends

He's the toughest guy I know
And if he's not, he doesn't let it show

He said...

Look at what I've got
Not at what it's not
Some things you have that you can't hold
And as my friend Carlos used to say
Look at the doughnut
Not the hole

My college friends all packed their vans
Headed west for the sun and sand
They're tired they said of the cold out here
In the place and the faces of the east

Me and Carlos stayed
And I never minded snow anyway

Look at what I've got
Not at what it's not
Some things you have that you can't hold
And as my friend Carlos used to say
Look at the doughnut
Not the hole
Doughnut, doughnut
Look at the doughnut not the hole

My mum she worries
that i don't own a car
I say all the things you have
will never be more than what you are

Look at what I've got
Not at what it's not
Some things you have that you can't hold
And as my friend Carlos used to say
Look at the doughnut
Not the hole
Doughnut, doughnut
Look at the doughnut not the hole
