Lyrics
Here's Hopin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Here's hopin' the food don't get cold
And the phone don't ring
That thing has a habit
Of suddenly changing things
Last time they called
They were looking for you
They're calling again
What am I gonna do?
Sometimes that ol' mailman
He carries a bag of tricks
He once left me something
That sure left me in a fix
That letter said lots of things
That weren't true
But everything's changed now
And what can I do?
Just like an old movie-star
Jumps at a telegram
The second he gets it
His brain hears those jail doors slam
He'll get caught up in
An elaborate scam
With too many subplots
To count on his hands
