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 As an NCO 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 got to tell me quickly Because 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 implode
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?
