  Mama's Picture Some families are definately not at their best after the death of a loved one, as wills are read, inheritances sorted out, and worldly goods distributed far and wide. All the poor guy in this song wants is Mama's picture hanging in the hall. But should we believe him? Lyrics When the telephone rang I knew right away Old Alexander had finished his days They buried him deep but it didn't take long For the relatives to start picking his bones Paula has her name on the croconole game The dresser at the top of the stairs Joey has his eye on the four wheel drive With chrome going every which way Chorus: But all I want is Mama's picture Hanging in the hall it'll be my treasure Just a little something to remember The way things used to be All I want is mama's picture Hanging on the wall it'll last forever I don't want his money they can have it all I want Mama's picture hanging in the hall They rolled out the carpet when the lawyers came Trying to break the will was the name of the game Fiddle with the words before they're read Some people have no respect for the dead The girls in the city have a big plan To subdivide the propery They've got to find out without any doubt What he did and he didn't mean Repeat Chorus It's all I want That's all I want (3) I don't want his money they can have it all I want Mama's picture hanging in the hall Repeat First Verse Repeat Chorus and End Players Unrecorded Copyright Wild Garden Music (SOCAN) 2003 |
