| [00:10.400] |
I was of poor folk |
| [00:15.160] |
But my mother had a rabbit fur coat |
| [00:19.670] |
And a girl of less character pushed her down the L.A. River |
| [00:25.710] |
Hand over that rabbit fur coat |
| [00:29.750] |
~ |
| [00:32.479] |
She put a knife to her throat |
| [00:37.350] |
Hand over that rabbit fur coat |
| [00:41.490] |
When my ma refused, the girl kicked dirt on her blouse |
| [00:47.430] |
Stay away from my mansion house |
| [00:51.940] |
~ |
| [00:55.100] |
My mother really suffered for that |
| [00:59.670] |
Spent her life in a gold plated body cast |
| [01:05.290] |
Now, you ask, did she get that girl back? |
| [01:09.990] |
She paid a visit to that mansion house |
| [01:15.240] |
~ |
| [01:17.890] |
She knew the girl was not there |
| [01:22.570] |
But her father was in cufflinks with slicked-back black hair |
| [01:27.850] |
He invited her in, they never sang a note |
| [01:32.840] |
But she took off that rabbit fur coat |
| [01:37.580] |
~ |
| [01:41.0] |
And who do you think came home? |
| [01:45.720] |
Miss so and so |
| [01:50.100] |
She took one look at my ma and what did she say? |
| [01:55.860] |
Why are you stealing from my mansion house? |
| [02:00.830] |
~ |
| [02:03.720] |
No, I'm in love with Mr. so and so |
| [02:08.500] |
He invited me in, I'm a girl no more |
| [02:13.900] |
Then she dragged my ma out by her throat |
| [02:18.650] |
Hand over that rabbit fur coat |
| [02:23.630] |
~ |
| [02:27.209] |
Let's move ahead twenty years, shall we? |
| [02:32.280] |
She was waitressing on welfare, we were living in the valley |
| [02:36.899] |
A lady says to my ma you treat your girl as your spouse |
| [02:42.500] |
You can live in a mansion house |
| [02:47.110] |
~ |
| [02:50.690] |
And so we did |
| [02:54.500] |
And I became a 100.000 dollar kid |
| [02:59.880] |
When I was old enough to realize, wiped the dust from my mother's eyes |
| [03:07.940] |
It's all this for that rabbit fur coat |
| [03:14.120] |
~ |
| [03:17.410] |
But I'm not bitter about it |
| [03:21.829] |
I've packed up my things and let them have at it |
| [03:26.990] |
And the fortune faded, as fortunes often do |
| [03:31.940] |
And so did that mansion house |
| [03:37.220] |
~ |
| [03:39.980] |
Where my ma is now, I don't know |
| [03:44.170] |
She was living in her car, I was living on the road |
| [03:49.810] |
And I hear she's putting that stuff up her nose |
| [03:55.100] |
And still wearing that rabbit fur coat |
| [04:00.0] |
~ |
| [04:02.930] |
But mostly I'm a hypocrite |
| [04:07.830] |
I sing songs about the deficit |
| [04:12.440] |
But when I sell out and leave Omaha, what will I get? |
| [04:19.350] |
A mansion house and a rabbit fur coat |
