Linda Allen - Mama Cleans Out Her Purse Lyrics
Hello, Susan, how ya doin? Always good to see your faceHow is William? And the children? Oh, that Megan's such a case!I do appreciate your offer, Shopping's always such a boreI'll be ready, dear, one moment -While I do this little choreMy purse is weighing far too much, I hardly drag it out the doorIt's stuffed with this & that, and really I don't need it anymoreWhat's your hurry? Just relax, We'll chat, and you can have some teaI'll clean out my purse, and then, We'll head out to the A & PNow here's a sight, my army knife, I thought I lost it long agoHere's my first aid kit still sealed, But honey, you just never knowHere's the photos of you children, Starting when you started schoolCome and see your little Megan, That girl's sure nobody's foolHere's a key to someone's house, I don't recall whose house that wasReminds me of your old apartment, What an awful place that was!Druggie's hung out on the corner, Roaches crawled from every holeHow I wanted you to come home, But you made it, bless your soulI just found this piece of candy, It's your favorite, I recallJust let me brush off all this fuzz, and, Honey, don't look so appalledI remember stuff you'd eat, A slug, an ant, a gob of glueThen you were a teen, it seemed like, Nothing in the house would doI sometimes wonder how we did it, Raisin' you kids, squeakin' throughGuess we kept out sense of humor, God, we laughed at things you'd doSo just relax, dear, love those kids, And let 'em know that every daySoon they'll grow up, much too quickly, There! I'm done. We're on our way.
