Bill Osofsky songs
A repost AUNTY IDA Dave Brooks vocal (verse) I pulled up to her house, it was a bit past eight The six month anniversary of our first date Her hot pink sweater looked so great with high heel boots But she flashed the saddest smile an' said "I've got bad news My favorite aunt is staying here from out of town Instead of going out, could we just stick around?" (chorus) Aunty Ida, she's known her since her birth Aunty Ida, the true salt of the earth That lady's always let the good book guide her Aunty Ida (verse) She shuffled kinda slowly leanin' on her cane And I said it three, four times 'til she got my name She asked me what my job is, was I from the South And plopped herself between us right there on the couch I poured a drink and asked her could she stand a taste Her hands were crooked, but she drank that bourbon straight. (chorus) Aunty Ida, a blue haired bodyguard Aunty Ida, only ninety pounds, but hard And she thinks that men got more arms than a spider Aunty Ida. (bridge) I prayed that she'd get sleepy but that woman didn't yawn And I knew that she'd have sat there if I'd hung around 'til dawn So I said good night to both of them and walked out the front door And I swear as it was closin' I could hear that woman snore (chorus) Aunty Ida, maybe someday we'll be friends Aunty Ida, I know she'll be back again But I won't be the person to invite her Aunty Ida Bill Osofsky, BMI, Shelia Quattlebaum, BMI copyright
