[Verse 1]
The question is wouldn't Mama be proud?
There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud
And the pretty post that you're taking as a, as an NCO
Of the great pretender, I should sure think so
[Refrain]
Wouldn't Mama be proud?
[Verse 2]
"Can I take your order?" asked the heavenly host
Ticket to the jet stream blowing coast to coast
The long-stem glasses, a movie and a pleasant dream in mid-air
"You gotta tell me quickly 'cause we're almost there"
[Refrain]
Wouldn't Mama be proud?
[Bridge]
Pointed out of the window
At the sky gone black
"Kid, you're on the right track"
[Verse 3]
If I send you postcards from the side of the road
Photographs of moving parts about to implode
If I crawl to keep it together
Like you say you know I can do
To transmit the moment from me to you
[Refrain]
Wouldn't Mama be proud?
Wouldn't Mama be proud?
Wouldn't Mama be proud?
Wouldn't Mama be proud?
