Wouldn't Mama Be Proud?

The question is wouldn't mama be proud?

There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud

And the pretty pose that you're taking as

As an emcee, oh, of the great pretender

I should sure think so



Wouldn't mama be proud?



"can i take your order?"

Asks the heavenly host

Ticket to the jetstream

Blowing coast to coast



The long stemmed glasses, a movie

And a pleasant dream in mid air

You gotta tell me quickly

Cos we're almost there



Wouldn't mama be proud?



If you look out your window

And the sky's gone black

Well kid you're on the right track



If i send you postcards

From the side of the road

Photographs of moving

Parts about to explode



If i call to keep it together

Like you say i can do

To transmit a 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?
