jez lowe and the bad pennies - the soda man lyrics

Loading...

(chorus)
if my old man was the soda man
i’d drink all the soda in his soda van
pop bottle pennies give us all you can
spend it all on soda
them boozin’ days are over

they’ve been chalking their squares up on the path now
sometimes i think this street is hopping mad
bonny lassie don’t you chance your mother’s wrath now
and send a stone a+sliding through the grid
or jump into a skipping rope a+spinning
you’ve work to do before your fun
can’t you hear the voices as they’re singing
they’re waiting for the soda man to come
can’t you hear them sing…

(chorus)

long long time her father packed his case now
he used to drink so much he couldn’t stand
she lies awake and tries to see his face now
but she only sees the shaking of his hands
and every night her mother leaves her with his children
she’s old enough to sit ’til closing time
but young enough to wish that she could join them
when their voices and their feet all skip and rhyme
can’t you hear them sing…
(chorus)

winter’s throwing its rings around the moon now
her brothers and her sisters are in bed
her mother’s off dressed like it’s flaming june now
a flimsy frock and nothing on her head
she shivered at the door to curse the fashion
she says fashion’s just for flashin’ in the street
she said she’ll soon get warmed up with some passion
well i hope she brings some home, they need the heat
can’t you hear them sing…

(chorus) + 2
