Sew What
I was riding on a (choo choo) train to visit my sweet mimmy
When along came a man in a big brown hat said,
(gimme, gimme, gimme)
He took everything that I ever owned
including my gift for my mimmy
but he left me a pattern and a couple of scraps
so I shimmied up a gift for my mimmy
Sew what, sew what,
sew me a memory
stitch solidarity
sewn by my melody
Sew what, sew what,
sew me a memory
I'll craft for eternity
cuz' I'm free
I was biking down (highway)30 to visit my local market
When a storm blew in and my little baby chin
couldn't grin cuz' it was cold
I didn't have time to go back home and get myself my scarf
But I had a couple needles and a ball of yarn
So I knitted up a shawl
Sew what, sew what,
sew me a memory
stitch solidarity
sewn by my melody
Sew what, sew what,
sew me a memory
I'll craft for eternity
cuz' I'm free
So the moral of the story and the story has a moral
about the times and the trials of a gal
When life gives you nothing and you make it out of something
and something can never be nothing
Who's got a pocket full of pony beads in their pocket?
(Oh I do!)
Who's got a bungle of ribbon down in their satchel?
(Oh I do!)
Who's got a drawer of felt straps in their closet?
(Oh I do!)
You call that nothing? I call that something
That's a wall hanging!
Sew what, sew what,
sew me a memory
stitch solidarity
sewn by my melody
Sew what, sew what,
sew me a memory
I'll craft for eternity
cuz' I'm free
