Wouldn`t Mama Ben Proud? Lyrics










  
 
 
 
 
 
 
  








The question is wouldn't mama be proud? 
There's a silver lining in the
corporate cloud
And the pretty post that you're taking as an NCO
of the
great pretender?
I should sure think so!
Wouldn't mama be
proud?
"Can I take your order?" asked the heavenly host
ticket
to the jet stream blowing coast to coast
The long stem glasses, a movie and
a pleasent dream in mid-air
"You gotta tell me quickly, cos we're
almost there"
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Pointed out of the window at
the sky gone black
"Kid you're on the right track"
If I send
you a postcard from the side of the road
photographs of moving parts about
to implode
If I crawl to keep it together like you say you know I can
do
to transmit the moment from me to you

wouldn't mama be
proud?
wouldn't mama be proud?
wouldn't mama be proud?
wouldn't mama
be proud?
