Said the momma to the baby in the corn

You are my first born

You shall here on in be known

As the spotlight kid

And the morning cry of the rooster

The baby lay alone

And the old cow in the green grass

Shed white tears in the red hot sun

And the spotlight kid stood

Under the moon that evening

Giving her alibis and eating her a la modes

And the ice cream man searching high and low

For his a la modes foe his a la modes

And the green frogs croaking around his abode

And the mud cat pond by the old willow road

All night the village waited

And the spotlight kid never showed

She was up on the mountain

Telling her alibis and eating her a la modes

Momma still knew she was the one

She was the one

Who stole the pie from old Momma eye

Window bare yeah rocking chair

Groaning like ah grizzly bear

And the ice cream man searching high and low

For his a la modes for his a la modes

All night the village waited

And the spotlight kid never showed

She was up on the mountain telling her alibis

And eating her a la modes
