come gather round

ill only tell you once

my baby had

all of the evidence

and im so glad

that she can fill her lungs

but you wont believe it, no

im awful glad

that when we go on tour

i always know

my mother will pay more

but you wont believe it, no

days go by

and you wont get no fatter, no

pages flying

into a little pile on the floor

days go by

and youre as straight as a senator

but you wont believe it, no

days go by

and you wont get no fatter, no

pages flying

into a little pile on the floor

breezing by

everyone in town tonight

im awful glad

that we can go on tour

im awful glad

my mother will pay more

but you wont believe it, no
