Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show - Cooky and Lila слова песни
(D. Hickey)He was a short order cook, and not too much to look atAnd he traded in his foot, for a medal in the warHe loved a girl named Lila, in a bar across the highwayAnd you ought to see him smilin` at her comin` through the doorLila always knew, she wasn`t no ravin` beautyShe traded in her virtue to a trucker at sixteenBut she forgets to remember how he left her off in DenverWhen she sees her Cooky smilin` as she opens up the screenAnd he says"Hi Lila, how about a cup of coffee?Take a load off, take your shoes off, here`s the sugar and the cream"Cooky`s been to war and Lila`s been to DenverAnd both of them are casualties of someone else`s dreamCooky pours the trucker`s coffee, Lila serves the rigger`s whiskeyAnd resists their invitations to go ridin` for a while`Cause at a diner across the highway, on a shelf above the pastryThere`s a cup reserved for Lila and the man who makes her smileWhen he says"Hi Lila, how about a cup of coffee?Take a load off, take your shoes off, here`s the sugar and the cream"`Cause Cooky`s been to war and Lila`s been to DenverAnd both of them are casualties of someone else`s dreamNow as the nation rolls along, like a semi down the highwayCasting lonely broken bodies in the grass along the roadI`ve finally found a reason for believing in the futureSeeing Cooky and his Lila drinking coffee all aloneOh yes"Hi Lila, how about a cup of coffee?Take a load off, take your shoes off, here`s the sugar and the cream"`Cause Cooky`s been to war and Lila`s been to DenverAnd both of them are casualties of someone else`s dreamCooky`s been to war, Lord and Lila`s been to DenverAnd both of them are casualties of someone else`s dream(c)1975 Everyday Songs/Baron Music Publ.
