G
well they talked about people
that just weren't there

who were losing their hair
G D
when mama saw your mother
G

D
but if someday they're all abandoned fields
our parents are surely gonna miss em
G
Well Bradlees values close at 9
C
but then there's always Star market sign
G
when mama saw your mother

C
they closed up all the doors you know
