Bonding
A New Daddy's Lament
A Nickel-A-Run
Romance
We Are Church
A-Nickel-A-Run
Here come the veg'table man
on his horse drawn carriage
Mamas callin' they order out the window
some wavin' they handkerchiefs
 
Herbert and Bruh's mama
Miss Bubble-eye
Miss Raymond
Muh Lizzie
 
All placin' they orders
while a bunch of us kids
run up to the wagon
tryin' to make a nickel-a-run
 
Veg'table man yellin' back
We-got-corrr-nn
We-got-greee-nns
We-got-strang-beans
a-half-a-dolluh-water-pai-il
We-got-er-redd-er-ripe-a-watermello-o-o!
 
Up the stairs with
pails of veg'tables
dropping a few stringbeans along the way
and back down with the money
for the veg'table man
 
Fifth floor ain't so bad
We let the big kids
go to the sixth and seventh
 
Get my nickel
Me and Marshall go the stinky store
an' get some penny candy
some Nutchews
Mary-Janes
and wine candy
No cobs for nobody!
