ray willis - a talk with dad (2021 remaster) lyrics

dad, i know you’re busy, but
could you spare me a minute
of your time?
we haven’t had a chance to talk
since you got your promotion
at the mine
here, have a cigarette, i know
you told me not to smoke
but on the other hand
they help me to relax
anyway, i do believe
i use your brand
you say that i’d look better
in your eyes if i would shave
and cut my hair
oh, but it ain’t been so long ago
you told me not to judge a book
by lookin’ at the cover that it wears
and anyway, these striped britches
and the beads i wear that
you and mama tell me make me look a fool
looks better than the raccoon coat
you wore when you and mama
went to school
i’m sorry that i didn’t make it
in the school you sent me
but i tried
though i can’t figure out why people
cut a little frog up
just so they can learn what is inside
things have changed since you were young
and when you’re old, they’ll probably
change again
they’re shooting rockets at the moon
and what about the new machines
you thought they’d replace along those bends?
and you say it’s indecent
the way the younger girls are dressing
in those high+hem skirts they’re wearing now
but yet i’ve noticed that peculiar smile
you get up on your face
when they pass by and you know mama’s not around
well, dad, i’ve got to go now
i’m glad we had this little talk
so i’d get these troubles off of my chest
say, could you spare me forty cents?
you see, while i was talking
you were busy smoking
my last charcoal+filtered cigarette
dad, could you spare me forty cents?
you see, while i was talking
you were busy smoking
my last charcoal+filtered cigarette
