[00:10.400] | I was of poor folk |
[00:15.160] | But my mother had a rabbit fur coat |
[00:19.670] | And a girl of less character pushed her down the L.A. River |
[00:25.710] | Hand over that rabbit fur coat |
[00:29.750] | ~ |
[00:32.479] | She put a knife to her throat |
[00:37.350] | Hand over that rabbit fur coat |
[00:41.490] | When my ma refused, the girl kicked dirt on her blouse |
[00:47.430] | Stay away from my mansion house |
[00:51.940] | ~ |
[00:55.100] | My mother really suffered for that |
[00:59.670] | Spent her life in a gold plated body cast |
[01:05.290] | Now, you ask, did she get that girl back? |
[01:09.990] | She paid a visit to that mansion house |
[01:15.240] | ~ |
[01:17.890] | She knew the girl was not there |
[01:22.570] | But her father was in cufflinks with slicked-back black hair |
[01:27.850] | He invited her in, they never sang a note |
[01:32.840] | But she took off that rabbit fur coat |
[01:37.580] | ~ |
[01:41.0] | And who do you think came home? |
[01:45.720] | Miss so and so |
[01:50.100] | She took one look at my ma and what did she say? |
[01:55.860] | Why are you stealing from my mansion house? |
[02:00.830] | ~ |
[02:03.720] | No, I'm in love with Mr. so and so |
[02:08.500] | He invited me in, I'm a girl no more |
[02:13.900] | Then she dragged my ma out by her throat |
[02:18.650] | Hand over that rabbit fur coat |
[02:23.630] | ~ |
[02:27.209] | Let's move ahead twenty years, shall we? |
[02:32.280] | She was waitressing on welfare, we were living in the valley |
[02:36.899] | A lady says to my ma you treat your girl as your spouse |
[02:42.500] | You can live in a mansion house |
[02:47.110] | ~ |
[02:50.690] | And so we did |
[02:54.500] | And I became a 100.000 dollar kid |
[02:59.880] | When I was old enough to realize, wiped the dust from my mother's eyes |
[03:07.940] | It's all this for that rabbit fur coat |
[03:14.120] | ~ |
[03:17.410] | But I'm not bitter about it |
[03:21.829] | I've packed up my things and let them have at it |
[03:26.990] | And the fortune faded, as fortunes often do |
[03:31.940] | And so did that mansion house |
[03:37.220] | ~ |
[03:39.980] | Where my ma is now, I don't know |
[03:44.170] | She was living in her car, I was living on the road |
[03:49.810] | And I hear she's putting that stuff up her nose |
[03:55.100] | And still wearing that rabbit fur coat |
[04:00.0] | ~ |
[04:02.930] | But mostly I'm a hypocrite |
[04:07.830] | I sing songs about the deficit |
[04:12.440] | But when I sell out and leave Omaha, what will I get? |
[04:19.350] | A mansion house and a rabbit fur coat |
