The Sour Song

Relatives on Easy Street
Smoke cigars right after they eat
They drive Cadillacs with leather seats
And everyone talks about
"You know they gave our baby girl a sterling silver cup,
It was awful sweet, just a little bit scratched up
Someone said their brand new sofa came from overseas
And they got a coffe table from somewhere back east"

France
They sent their little girl away so she can learn to
Dance"
"They say he has a drinking problem, but nobody knows
If her hair is really red, but her face isn't so"
Like the smell of fresh-cut hay
On a sweltering Summer's day
Sugar melts and goes away
Sugar melts and goes away
But vinegar lasts forever
