Wooden Spoon Lyrics

[Chorus]
Say hey, I was born, y'all
With a wooden spoon in my mouth
Oh, I was born-born
With a wooden spoon in my mouth, yes I was
And the only silver spoon I ever saw, y'all
Was in a Sears and a-Roebuck catalog
Oh yes it was

[Verse 1]
Mama took in washin'
To make money to feed our face
But daddy took the money
To buy himself a little taste, ha-ha
Used to say "Son, you know dad's got to have his taste
Know daddy's got to have his taste
Daddy's got to have his little taste
Daddy's got to have his little taste
Daddy's got to have his little taste", ha
And he got it too, ha!
It's hard, y'all, come on

[Chorus]
Say hey, I was born
With a wooden spoon in my mouth
Oh, I was born-born-born-born-born
With a wooden spoon in my mouth, yeah
And the only silver spoon I evеr saw, y'all
Was in a Sears and a-Roebuck catalog
Yes it was

[Verse 2]
As I think back on my school days
Goin' in lockеrs takin' lunches
Didn't have money to buy my own
I took sandwiches by the bunches, ha-ha!
One day Mrs. William come
Made me write it on the blackboard five-hundred time
"I will not take nobody's lunch"
"Will not take nobody's lunch"
"I'll never take another lunch"
"I'll never take another lunch", ha-ha!
And I didn't, not for a long time, heh-heh
Yeah, a hard time, y'all
Born with a wooden spoon in my mouth
Yeah, I came up the hard way
Not the highway, ha-ha!
Yeah, but I think this is gonna be the year
For underpriviledged children, alright

[Outro]
Yeah, woo, y'all
Shucks, woo
