I’m here to tell you, though maybe you heard, The world is kinda crazy, and life is so absurd. Uncle was a card shark, he worked at it all day, But, high stakes Go Fish, no one wants to play. She walks in softly, asks for this and that. You love her like a puppy, she loves you like a cat. Living in the city, you hear construction sounds, And the one street they’re fixing is the one you’re crawling down. Third Cousin Lou, remember she played lead gong. Left to learn Ancient Greek, to prove Euclid wrong. He walks in softly, asks for this and that. You love him like a puppy, he loves you like a cat. Dancing in the desert, keep that canteen filled. When prepping for the winter, it’s corn mash in the still. Nephew Joe was Santa when the holiday came by To avoid big crowds, worked the 4th of July. They walks in softly, asks for this and that. You love ‘em like a puppy, they love you like a cat. Aunt Susan taught trig, stans for cosine. Relaxed after school by collecting some loose twine. Brother Blue has regrets about the hearts he stole. He needlepoints the phrase, oh baby let’s bowl She walks in softly, asks for this and that. You love her like a puppy, she loves you like a cat. He walks in softly, asks for this and that. You love him like a puppy, he loves you like a cat. I’m here to tell you, though maybe you heard, That life is kinda crazy, the world is so absurd. Grandma flew a zeppelin, but she never flew it far. Was working for a tycoon who hated ev’ry single blessed car.. They walk in softly, asks for this and that. You love them like a puppy, they love you like a cat. She walks in softly, asks for this and that. You love her like a puppy, she loves you like a cat. He walks in softly, asks for this and that. You love him like a puppy, he loves you like a cat. She, he, they love you like a (me-ow) love you like a cat.

Ain’t no information worker Don’t drop me onto some data farm I’ll lay around the shack Till the mail trains come back And roll in my sweet baby’s arms Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Lay around the shack Till the mail trains come back And  roll in my sweet baby’s arms My waistcoat’s buttons are poppin’ But I’ll take one more piece of pie. I’ll give a thought to exercisin’ I might even try to try. Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Lay around the shack Till the mail trains come back And  roll in my sweet baby’s arms There are some folks who say I’m lazy, Some worry I rest way too hard. You’ll find me in my hammock Searching for my business card. Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Lay around the shack Till the mail trains come back And  roll in my sweet baby’s arms I know your parents don’t like me Grandparents indifferent at best If I were to do things over I’d skip that algeebra test. Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Lay around the shack Till the mail trains come back And  roll in my sweet baby’s arms Now Daddy’s nuthin’ but retirin’ Since Sister made that app. Mama’s takin’ classes in college. I went to take a nap. Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Roll in my sweet baby’s arms Lay around the shack Till the mail trains come back And  roll in my sweet baby’s arms
