Track 8 on Andrew Bird’s second album as bandleader of Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire, “Dora Goes to Town” was written about and dedicated to Dora Munch, Bird’s childhood babysitter.
She's got a ham in her handbag, a pig in her purse
She's got a two ply, no cry baby bugger
She's got a burlap sack, she's on a produce parade
Gonna get some cherry cigars and some lemonade
No need to put your ear to the ground
Dora Munch is coming to town
She puts eggs in her orange juice, coffee in her tea
Puts olives in her jelly, says that's the way it's gonna be
Ashes and mashes and dust and mustard
Creamed spinach sandwich and she cuts the crusts off
Don't let it show that you wanted some
Dora Munch is coming to town
[Instrumental Interlude]
She's got a ham in her handbag, a pig in her purse
She's got a two ply, no cry baby bugger
Burlap sack, produce parade
Gonna get some cherry cigars and some lemonade
No, no need to put your ear to the ground
Dora Munch is coming to town
She puts eggs in her orange juice, coffee in her tea
Puts olives in her jelly, says that's the way it's gonna be
Ashes to ashes and dust and mustard
[Incomprehensible]
Don't let it show that you wanted some
Dora Munch is coming to town, yes sir
Dora Munch is coming to town, you heard me the first time
Dora Munch is coming to town
