Hello, Paris It's Mama Dearest

hello, Paris it's mama dearest Mama bear pulls into Seattle with a roar searching the neighborhoods of the poor You hear me, come out from hiding ... my baby cub mama has a pocketful of your favorite grub hello, Paris come out wherever you be hello, Paris come out wherever you be There's a warm bed and shower to be had so come out now, and stop being so mad At every corner mama roars, stomps her feet hoping upon a wishing well daughter's eyes meet hello, Paris it's mama dearest hello, Paris it's mama dearest She sings her song over and over, hoping a prayer is answered by her, and not another naysayer Fear is born as fruits of her labor rot but mama keep swimming up river for her baby tot hello, Paris it's mama dearest hello, Paris it's mama dearest On a crescent moon, lost in a crater, daughter sleeps in a dilapidated room on flea infested bed with a creep Such fate of what a warm voice does to someone that's cold her precious gifts and youthful innocence stolen hello, Paris come out wherever you be hello, Paris come out wherever you be connie pachecho 12/30/16
