Tara MacLean - Mama Bake A Pie (Daddy Kill A Chicken) слова песни
*...* Denotes spoken part
People staring 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 ol` red, white and blue
And since I won`t be walking I suppose I`ll save some money buying 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 the phone booth
quite in time."
A GI gets a lot of laughs if he remembers all the funny lines
(Chorus)
Mama bake a pie, Daddy kill a chicken
Your son is coming home, 11:35 Wednesday night
*Mama will be crying and Daddy`s gonna say "Son, did they treat you good?"
My uncle will be drunk and he`ll say, "Boy, they doing some real
great things with wood."*
The letter that she wrote me said good-bye, 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
Naw, 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 here in the paper, where they say the war is just a waste of time
(Chorus)
