Wouldn't Mama Be Proud? lyrics
The question is, "Wouldn't mama be proud?"
There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud
And the pretty post that you're taking as
As an NCO of the great pretender
I should sure think so
Wouldn't mama be proud?
"Can I take your order?"
Asks the heavenly host
Ticket to the jetstream
Blowing coast to coast
The long stemmed glasses, a movie
And a pleasant dream in mid air
You got to tell me quickly
Because we're almost there
Wouldn't mama be proud?
If you look out your window
And the sky's gone black
Well, kid, you're on the right track
If I send you postcards
From the side of the road
Photographs of moving parts
About to implode
If I call to keep it together
Like you say I can do
To transmit a moment
From me to you
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Wouldn't mama be proud?
