Captain Beefheart The Spotlight Kid Lyrics

The Spotlight Kid Lyrics

Said the momma t` the baby in the corn 
You are my first born 
You shall here on in be known as The Spotlight Kid 
`N the mornin` cry of the rooster 
The baby lay alone 
`N the old cow in the green grass 
Shed white tears in the red hot sun 
`N The Spotlight Kid stood under the moon that evenin` 
Givin` her alibis `n eatin` her a la modes 
`N the green frogs croakin` around his abdoe 
`N the mud cat pond by the old willow road 
All night the village waited `n The Spotlight Kid never showed 
She was up on the mountain 
Tellin` her alibis `n eatin` her a la modes 
Momma still knew she was the one 
She was the one who stole the pie from old Momma Eye 
Window bare rockin` chair groanin` like ah grizzly bear 
`N the ice cream searchin` high `n low 
For his a la modes for his a la modes 
All night the village waited `n The Spotlight Kid never showed 
She was up on the mountain tellin` her alibis 
`N eatin` her a la modes
