verse 2:
I asked God for a, a good man
But I forgot to say
I wanna see him every day
I tried to remember that goose poop on
Even if it's swingin', oh
It's never fast as you ho-o-o-hoooope
The neighbor baby in the sun
Gettin' dirty in the mud
The washin' on a wire
Potatoes in a tire?
Oh goodness, ain't that the way?
Instrumental verse
If you got honey in the cup
Liqueur in the mug
Water on the stove
Sugar on the phone
Oh goodness, ain't that the way?
Ain't that the way?
Ain't that the way?

You're on your own
You're on your way home

You're cookin' for one

And here in the distance

Here in the miss you
Fonder and fonder I go
