Testo Mama Bake a Pie, Daddy Kill a Chicken - Bobby Bare
Testo della canzone Mama Bake a Pie, Daddy Kill a Chicken (Bobby Bare), tratta dall'album Rosen für Mama
People starin' at me as they wheel me down the ramp toward my plane
The war is over for me, I've forgotten everything except the pain
Thank you sir and yes sir, it was worth
It for the old red, white and blue
And since I won't be walkin', I suppose
I'll save some money buyin' shoes
The bottle hidden underneath the blanket over my two battered legs
I can see the stewardess make over me and ask, "Were you afraid?"
I'll say, "Why no, I'm Superman and
Couldn't find a phone booth quite in time"
A G.I. gets a lot of laughs if he remembers all the funny lines
Mama bake a pie, Daddy kill a chicken
Your son is comin' home, 11:35 Wednesday night
Mama will be cryin', Daddy's gonna
Say, "Son, did they treat you good?"
My uncle will be drunk and he'll say, "Boy
They do some real great things with wood"
The letter that she wrote me said goodbye
She couldn't wait and lots of luck
The bottle underneath the blanket feels
Just like an old friend to my touch
I know she'll come and see me but I
Bet she never once looks at my legs
She'll talk about the weather and the
Dress she wore the July 4th parade
Lord, I love her and I don't believe
This bottle's gonna get her off my mind
I see her in the paper where they say the war is just a waste of time
Mama bake a pie, Daddy kill a chicken
Your son is comin' home, 11:35 Wednesday night
