Lydia Pinkham
from THANK YOU! by The Real Numbers
lyrics
Mother just used to sigh and pine away
And long for days when girls wore gowns and boys wore trousers
Sepia themes that slowly turned to gray
Mundane parades of memories that like wilted flowers fade
Now everywhere she goes, she’s walking in circles,
speaking in riddles, but I think she feels better.
And even though there’s holes in her clothes,
all the world's her oyster and she owes it all to Lydia Pinkham
The miracle mile was her bright Broadway,
her Champs-Élysées of rushing cars, Quixotic towers.
Now once in a while she sips her holiday,
These scenes replay, the hours pass, she's checking out today
Now everywhere she goes, she’s walking in circles,
speaking in riddles, but I think she feels better.
And even though nobody else knows,
all the world's her oyster and she owes it all to Lydia Pinkham
Ahh ahh.. La la la Lydia Pinkham
Ahh ahh.. La la la Lydia Pinkham
Now everywhere she goes, she’s walking in circles,
speaking in riddles, but I think she feels better
And buffaloes and crows kiss her toes,
All the world's her oyster and she owes it all to Lydia Pinkham
Ahh ahh.. La la la Lydia Pinkham
Ahh ahh.. La la la Lydia Pinkham
And long for days when girls wore gowns and boys wore trousers
Sepia themes that slowly turned to gray
Mundane parades of memories that like wilted flowers fade
Now everywhere she goes, she’s walking in circles,
speaking in riddles, but I think she feels better.
And even though there’s holes in her clothes,
all the world's her oyster and she owes it all to Lydia Pinkham
The miracle mile was her bright Broadway,
her Champs-Élysées of rushing cars, Quixotic towers.
Now once in a while she sips her holiday,
These scenes replay, the hours pass, she's checking out today
Now everywhere she goes, she’s walking in circles,
speaking in riddles, but I think she feels better.
And even though nobody else knows,
all the world's her oyster and she owes it all to Lydia Pinkham
Ahh ahh.. La la la Lydia Pinkham
Ahh ahh.. La la la Lydia Pinkham
Now everywhere she goes, she’s walking in circles,
speaking in riddles, but I think she feels better
And buffaloes and crows kiss her toes,
All the world's her oyster and she owes it all to Lydia Pinkham
Ahh ahh.. La la la Lydia Pinkham
Ahh ahh.. La la la Lydia Pinkham
