Wouldn't Mama Be Proud

The question is wouldn't mama be proud? There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud And the pretty post that you're taking as As an NCO of the great pretender I should sure think so Wouldn't mama be proud? "Can I take your order?" Asks the heavenly host Ticket to the jet-stream Blowing coast to coast The long stem glasses, a movie And a pleasant dream in mid air "You gotta tell me quickly 'Cause we're almost there" Wouldn't mama be proud? Pointed out of the window At the sky gone black "Kid you're on the right track" If I send you postcards From the side of the road Photographs of moving Parts about to implode If I crawl to keep it together Like you say you know I can do To transmit a moment From me to you Wouldn't mama be proud? Wouldn't mama be proud? Wouldn't mama be proud? Wouldn't mama be proud?
