"Here's Hopin'" lyrics
Here's hopin' the food don't get cold and the phone don't ring
That thing has a habit of suddenly changing things
Last time they called they were looking for you
They're calling again, what am I gonna do?
Sometimes that old mailman, he carries a bag of tricks
He once left me something that sure left me in a fix
That letter said lots of things that weren't true
But everything's changed now, and what can I do?
Just like an old movie star jumps at a telegram
The second he gets it, his brain hears those jail doors slam
He'll get caught up in an elaborate scam
With too many subplots to count on his hands
That thing has a habit of suddenly changing things
Last time they called they were looking for you
They're calling again, what am I gonna do?
Sometimes that old mailman, he carries a bag of tricks
He once left me something that sure left me in a fix
That letter said lots of things that weren't true
But everything's changed now, and what can I do?
Just like an old movie star jumps at a telegram
The second he gets it, his brain hears those jail doors slam
He'll get caught up in an elaborate scam
With too many subplots to count on his hands
