Lyrics for Song: Yes Mr. Rogers
Lyrics for Album: The Winner and Other Losers [RCA Victor] [1976]
(Shel Silverstein - Fred Koller)
Yes Mr. Rodgers, I'm livin' in sin with your daughter
No Mr. Rodgers, we don't have separate rooms
Mr. Rodgers, I guess you could use one more scotch and water
Gee Mr. Rodgers, do you have to be leavin' so soon?
No Mr. Rodgers, I ain't found work but I'm looking
I'm sure Mr. Rodgers, you must have heard times are tight
Yes Mr. Rodgers, she works and I do the cooking
No Mr. Rodgers, I won't step outside and fight.
And I hope that Mrs. Rodgers' cough gets better
Maybe she could phone sometime or write her daughter a letter
No Mr. Rodgers, but thanks a lot for the offer
If she wanted a ring I think I could buy one myself
But you see that she's pleased with the plain string of beads I got her
So you see Mr. Rodgers your daughter ain't goin' to hell.
And I hope that Mrs. Rodgers cough gets better
Maybe she could phone sometime or maybe write her daughter a letter
Yeah Mr. Rodgers, I'm a livin' in sin with your daughter
No Mr. Rodgers we don't have separate rooms
Mr. Rodgers, I guess you could use one more scotch and water
Gee Mr. Rodgers, do you have to be leavin' so soon?
Yeah Mr. Rodgers, do you have to be leavin' so soon?...

Yes Mr. Rogers

Released on the album *The Winner and Other Losers*, the track reflects Bare's signature country-folk style, blending his signature vocal warmth with a nostalgic melody that honors the friendship between the singer and Mr. Rogers. The song was recorded during a period when Bare continued to explore themes of kindness and community, often drawing inspiration from the cultural icons of his era. This rendition serves as a musical bridge between the worlds of adult country music and the universal values promoted by children's programming, showcasing Bare's versatility and deep respect for the subject matter. |
