Lyrics

[00:00.000] Said the momma to the baby in the corn
[00:04.009] You are my firstborn
[00:08.051] You shall here on in be known as the Spotlight Kid
[00:12.925] In the mornin' cry of the rooster
[00:15.752] The baby lay alone
[00:23.537] And the old cow in the green grass
[00:26.415] Shed white tears in the red-hot sun
[00:33.957] An' the Spotlight Kid stood under the moon that evenin’
[00:40.161] Givin' her alibis 'n eatin' her à la modes
[00:49.870] Yeah now, ice cream man searchin' high 'n low
[00:55.251] For his à la modes, for his à la modes
[01:04.342] And the green frogs croakin' around his abode
[01:15.985] And the mud cat pond by the old willow road
[01:48.396] All night the village waited and the Spotlight Kid never showed
[01:53.343] She was up on the mountain
[01:55.104] Tellin' her alibis an' eatin' her à la modes
[02:05.441] Momma still knew she was the one
[02:10.288] She was the one who stole the pie from old mommy eye
[02:22.119] Window bare, yeah, rockin' chair groanin' like a grizzly bear
[02:31.651] An' the ice cream man searchin' high 'n low
[02:36.187] For his à la modes, for his à la modes
[02:49.673] All night the village waited and the Spotlight Kid never showed
[02:54.623] She was up on the mountain
[02:57.161] Tellin' her alibis an' eatin' her à la modes
