sign me up I volunteer
votes are in for lifeguard of the year
her feline past lives are plain
their singularities are shown in this life again

like mamma said
don'tcha let it go to your head
when ya know youre being fed
I'm so proud to know you
Lizzy i'll write i'll sing
telegraph telegram telephone
tellin you i'll be home soon
dayenu

we will wake when kitty licks
and in the morn work takes her to Maine
dressed and out the door by six
tomorrow is the first time Liz can't board my plane

like mamma said
don'tcha let it go to your head
when ya know you're book is read
I'm so proud to know you
Anna will take me to the port as Liz drives up I-95
me and my darlin' keep love alive
even on texas time

and like mamma said
don'tcha let it go to your head
when your town is painted red
I'm so proud to know you
Lizzy i'll write i'll sing
telegraph telegram telephone
tellin' you i'll be home soon
