Album | The Spotlight Kid |
[00:00.000] | Said the momma to the baby in the corn |
[00:04.009] | You are my firstborn |
[00:08.051] | You shall here on in be known as the Spotlight Kid |
[00:12.925] | In the mornin' cry of the rooster |
[00:15.752] | The baby lay alone |
[00:23.537] | And the old cow in the green grass |
[00:26.415] | Shed white tears in the red-hot sun |
[00:33.957] | An' the Spotlight Kid stood under the moon that evenin’ |
[00:40.161] | Givin' her alibis 'n eatin' her à la modes |
[00:49.870] | Yeah now, ice cream man searchin' high 'n low |
[00:55.251] | For his à la modes, for his à la modes |
[01:04.342] | And the green frogs croakin' around his abode |
[01:15.985] | And the mud cat pond by the old willow road |
[01:48.396] | All night the village waited and the Spotlight Kid never showed |
[01:53.343] | She was up on the mountain |
[01:55.104] | Tellin' her alibis an' eatin' her à la modes |
[02:05.441] | Momma still knew she was the one |
[02:10.288] | She was the one who stole the pie from old mommy eye |
[02:22.119] | Window bare, yeah, rockin' chair groanin' like a grizzly bear |
[02:31.651] | An' the ice cream man searchin' high 'n low |
[02:36.187] | For his à la modes, for his à la modes |
[02:49.673] | All night the village waited and the Spotlight Kid never showed |
[02:54.623] | She was up on the mountain |
[02:57.161] | Tellin' her alibis an' eatin' her à la modes |
[00:00.000] | Said the momma to the baby in the corn |
