Mark Lenover - Molly Had A Little Lamb Lyrics
Molly turns the light on as she turns the alarm offYeah she rails against her daughter's fits and gives the kid a cuff'Cause she's late to catch her bus, and mommy's had enoughOf her precocious wit todayMolly backs into the house to wipe her face off of the dirtShe forgets to eat her breakfast, so she passes out at workNow the secretaries look at her as though sheNeeds the fat sucked from her head,Until she's cold, and limp, and deadAnd just as pleased as peachesTuck your heart awayYou won't be needing it todayWe hate to say it, but you're bound to break itIf you don't take special careMissed callDammit all!Have you any life insuranceCut backsWhere's the kid?Have you any wool?Mama Mommy Mother-dearest don't send me to private schoolI promise, promise I'll do better Daddy won't cheat any moreCome now, come nowGive the girl a promise MollyCome now, come nowGive the girl your wordHave you any life insurance?Have you any wool?Poor old Molly's off her trolley(Day-in, day-out)Poor old Molly's gone right 'round the bendMolly's husband crawls to dinner, inspecting his lover's workHis left hand holds a looking-glass and the other's in the lurchPicking up and throwing plates, demanding Molly gets a face-liftFor his forty-fifth birthdayShe's better let the baby have it's wayOr he'll be sore, as sure as sugarMolly turns to switch the light off as she turns the water onThe leaves left in her cup tell her that life's bound to go onThen she lays her head down, counting sheep and dreamingAbout getting hers some dayTuck your heart awayYou won't be needing it todayWe hate to say it, but you're bound to break itIf you don't take special careYou can hide it anywhereOr you can just forget it
