The question is, "Wouldn't mama be proud?"
There's a silver lining in the corporate cloud
And the pretty post that you're taking as
As an NCO of the great pretender
I should sure think so

Wouldn't mama be proud?

"Can I take your order?"
Asks the heavenly host
Ticket to the jetstream
Blowing coast to coast

The long stemmed glasses, a movie
And a pleasant dream in mid air
You got to tell me quickly
Because we're almost there

Wouldn't mama be proud?

Lookin out the window
At the sky goin black
Kid, you're on the right track

If I send you postcards
From the side of the road
Photographs of movies
Hearts about to implode

If I call to keep it together
Let you say I know you can do
To transmit a moment
From me to you

Wouldn't mama be proud?
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Wouldn't mama be proud?
Wouldn't mama be proud?
