Lyrics for Song: Trinkets
Lyrics for Album: Souls Alike [2005]
When I was a kid I had a little record
I played it over and over each and every day
Sung by a man named Louie Armstrong
Saint's marched right in from my
Close and Play
When I was a kid I had a little picture
I looked at that picture all the time
Painted by a man
Mama said his name was Vinnie
A farmer sewing seeds on a really
nice day
Mom and daddies
get a good idea what your
babies like
help 'em be happy like that guy
named Mike
Yeah the groovy old man that fixes
my bike
Down there n 'Dumaine Street
New Orleans Louisiana
When I was a kid I had a little
wiener dog
I loved that little wiener dog and
she loved me
Spent warm spring days feeding
that wiener dog
Ripe sweet cherries from our
cherry tree.
An' I ever get older, an' if I ever die
If I get to a gate at the end of the sky
And a beautiful creature says
Now Bonnie what do you want?
I might say a record and a picture
and a wiener dog swear to God
Mom and daddies get a good idea
what your babies want
To help 'em be happy like that ol'
Gal named Betty
Yeah the groovy old chick teaches
Tai-Chi on the levee
Rain or shine she's out there
she's dedicated
She wrinkled but she lovely
she flexible
and don't you wish we all
were flexible enough to
to dance now?
Dance little children now
The whole round world is your
neighborhood.
Dance little children now
nekked as a Jaybird
Dance little children now
The whole round world is your
neighborhood.
Dance little children now
nekkid as a Jaybird
They're just trinkets,
little stepping stones to let you
know you was here.
