Sew What -

When along came a man in a big brown hat said,

(gimme, gimme, gimme)

He took everything that I ever owned

including my gift for my mimmy

but he left me a pattern and a couple of scraps

so I shimmied up a gift for my mimmy

Sew what, sew what,

sew me a memory

stitch solidarity

sewn by my melody

Sew what, sew what,

sew me a memory

I’ll craft for eternity

cuz' I’m free

I was biking down (highway)30 to visit my local market

When a storm blew in and my little baby chin

couldn’t grin cuz' it was cold

I didn’t have time to go back home and get myself my scarf

But I had a couple needles and a ball of yarn

So I knitted up a shawl

Sew what, sew what,

sew me a memory

stitch solidarity

sewn by my melody

Sew what, sew what,

sew me a memory

I’ll craft for eternity

cuz' I’m free

So the moral of the story and the story has a moral

about the times and the trials of a gal

When life gives you nothing and you make it out of something

and something can never be nothing

Who’s got a pocket full of pony beads in their pocket?

(Oh I do!)

Who’s got a bungle of ribbon down in their satchel?

(Oh I do!)

Who’s got a drawer of felt straps in their closet?

(Oh I do!)

You call that nothing?

I call that something

That’s a wall hanging!

Sew what, sew what,

sew me a memory

stitch solidarity

sewn by my melody

Sew what, sew what,

sew me a memory

I’ll craft for eternity

cuz' I’m free
