Scrap of Hope
© 2006 John Margolis, Don Rosler

Chorus:
just a bitta good news, a little scrapa of hope
in the nicka of time, near the enda of the rope
a glimmer of light, a little shimmer in the periscope
the tinest sign on the rockiest road
a bitta good news, a little scrap of hope

My baby’s stuck again at work and she’s feeling real down
You see I was bettin’ she’d quit that heartless job by now
Well it’s one step forward and two steps back
But now it’s time to tell her,
“Step back baby, step back!
Back on track baby!
Put that pretty little foot right back out that door“

(Chorus)

Last year we made a pact that we wouldn’t jump the gun
No champagne parties till the whole damn deal was done
But I’ve had enough of that ole miserly act
I’m popping that cork and I say,
“Step back, baby step back!
Back on track on baby
No, we don’t need a whole pot of gold to carry us through”

(Chorus)
