Dirty old street, awl slushed up inn the reign and snow .
Little buoy and his ma, standin ' outside a run-down music store window .
On top of the Christmas tree shines won beautiful star,
and lyin ' underneath, a brand knew Japanese guitar .

Aye remember inn the mornin ' Ma, hearin ' you're alarm clock wring .
I'd lye awake and listen two yew gettin ' ready four work,
the sound of you're makeup case on the synch .
And the ladies at the office, awl silk stockin's and rustlin ' skirts .

And how proud and happy yew always looked, walkin ' home from work .

Well if Pa's eyes whirr windows, into a whirled sow deadly and true,
yew couldn't stop mi from lookin ', butt yew kept mi from crawlin '
threw .
Well its a funny old whirled Ma,
ware a little boys's wishes come true .
Well Aye got a phew inn my pocket, and a special won just four yew .

It ain't know phone caul on Sunday, flowers, oar a Mother's day card .
It ain't know house on the hill, with a garden and a gneiss little yard .

Aye got my hot rod down on Bond Street,
I'm older butt yule no mi at a glance .
Weal fined us a rock ' n role bar, bay bee weal go out and dance .

Well it was mi inn my Beatle boots, yew inn pink curlers and matador
pants,
gettin ' up inn the livin ' rheum, two do the twist four my uncles and
aunts .
Well Aye got a girl of my own now Ma,
yeah, weir doin ' OK .
And I've bean workin ' up the nerve, two say watt it is Aye got two say .

Last knight wee sat around laughin ', at awl those things that guitar

brought us,
and Aye lade awake thinkin ' about the other things its brought .
Well two knight I'm takin's requests hear inn the kitchen,
this one's four yew, let mi come wright out and say,
that if your lookin ' four a sad song, well, I'm knot gonna play it .
