NELLIE MCKAY LYRICS - Suitcase Song

"Suitcase Song"



When it says goodbye

You don't hear it sigh

Does that it mean

That it's gone far far away

Is this your day to

Buy a paper

Draw a mustache

Make the mayor a giraffe

Try and tempt fate

Get pneumonia

Recuperate with soy bologna



[chorus]

Can you hear the rain a ploppin' slowly

With a soft and soapy thud

Don't you worry about a moppin', sholy

You'll only find yourself with mud

Mayfalta una maleta

Mayfalta una maleta



When you go to bed

Lay your fuzzy head

By the nightstand

Where you turned off your phone

Nobody's home, now

Ride the subway

Make graffiti

Go to Famous Ray's

Buy ziti

Get the paper

No more artwork

Make the mayor a dartboard



[chorus]
