The Spotlight Kid

Said the momma to the baby in the corn

You are my first born

You shall here on in be known as The Spotlight Kid

In the mornin’ cry of the rooster

The baby lay alone

And the old cow in the green grass

Shed white tears in the red hot sun

An' The Spotlight Kid stood under the moon that evenin’

Givin’ her alibis ‘n eatin’ her a la modes

An' the ice cream man searchin’ high ‘n low

For his a la modes for his a la modes

And the green frogs croakin’ around his abode

And the mud cat pond by the old willow road

All night the village waited and The Spotlight Kid never showed

She was up on the mountain

Tellin’ her alibis an' eatin’ her a la modes

Momma still knew she was the one

She was the one who stole the pie from old Momma Eye

Window bare, yeah, rockin’ chair groanin’ like a grizzly bear

An' the ice cream man searchin’ high ‘n low

For his a la modes for his a la modes

All night the village waited and The Spotlight Kid never showed

She was up on the mountain

Tellin’ her alibis an' eatin’ her a la modes
