Who Framed Mother Goose? Lyrics

Gotta spend

To make a little money

Growing old

Is part of growing up

They'll let you in

Still ain't in the club

Work hard

But it's better if you're lucky

Better if you're lucky

That mockingbird won't sing

Nursery rhymes are long lost memories

Can't afford a diamond ring

Perhaps ambition is the enemy

Complain

I promise someone's listening

Worry

It's good for your health

Life is easy

If you lie to yourself

The world

Is only pretty at a distance

Pretty at a distance

That mockingbird won't sing

Nursery rhymes are long lost memories

We can't afford a diamond ring

Perhaps ambition is the enemy

The modern age it would seem

Is trying to prove that brotherhood

Is just a childish dream

That mockingbird won't sing

Nursery rhymes are long lost memories

We can't afford a diamond ring

Perhaps ambition is the enemy

That ring might turn to brass

Nursery rhymes they never last

Mockingbird won't sing

Perhaps ambition is the enemy
