Mother Hubbard's Blues |
Baby’s got a do rag on her head |
An old banjo’s under the bed |
She hates the damn thing |
But she sure enough loves them blues |
She says yelling at a flower don’t make it bloom |
It’s sunlight and water and elbow room |
But even a rose has got to pay some dues |
Now the Cross Canadian Ragweed band |
Call her Mother Hubbard you understand |
The reason is that’s what and who she is |
This mother knows the value of vapor rub |
A belief in God and overdubs |
And that good tone is more important than the show or the biz |
Show business is a heartbreaking thing |
But if you got good tone you can get through the gig |
Soul Gravy and literature is some of what she prefers |
Her old Lucky jeans and analog |
She comes to bed in a negligee |
Just to discuss Cinema Verite' |
She’s the only woman I know that likes Reservoir Dogs |
I mean I liked it but there was some scenes in there that kind of skived me out |
Well I got two nickels and a paradigm |
It ain’t spelled right but it rhymes |
I’m getting desperate I’m about to derail |
One more thing one last confession |
The mother asks some touch questions |
Like when Jesus went to heaven did he leave a vapor trail? |
Uh, well I don’t rightly know, well that’s too deep for me |
Baby’s got a do rag on her head |
An old banjo’s under the bed |
She hates the damn thing |
But she sure enough loves them blues |
