Mama Bake a Pie, Daddy Kill a Chicken |
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 |
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) |
