Jimmy Dean - Текст песни I. O. U.

You know most people look through

Their wallets or their pocketbooks

And way down at the bottom

Past the credit cards

Baby pictures and so on

You usually find a little old

Piece of dog eared poetry

I's cleaning out my wallet the other day

And I ran across a whole bunch of I.O.U.'s

Some of them thirty-five years overdue

And you know the funny thing

All these I.O.U.'s are owed to one person

And I kinda felt like that maybe now

Would be a pretty good time

For an accounting

Mom, I sure hope you're listening

Sweet lady, I owe you for so many things

A lot of services

Like night watchman for instance

Lying awake nights listening for coughs

And cries and creaking floorboards

Ha ha, and me coming in too late

Boy, you had the eye of an eagle

And the roar of a lion but you always

Had a heart as big as a house

I owe you for services like

Uh, short order cook, chef, baker

For making sirloin out of hamburger

And turkey out of tuna fish and

Big old strapping boys out of leftovers

I owe you for cleaning services

The daily scrubbing of face and ears

All work done by hand

And for the frequent dusting

Of a small boys pants to try to

Make sure that he led a spotless life

And for washing and ironing

That no laundry could ever do

For drying the tears of childhood and

Ironing out the problems of growing up

I owe you for services as a bodyguard

For protecting me from the terrors

Of thunderstorms and nightmares

Heh, and too many green apples

And Lord knows I owe you

For medical attention

For nursing me through measles, mumps

Bruises, bumps, splinters and spring fever

Oh, oh, let's not forget medical advise

Important things like if you keep on

Scratching that, it'll never get well

Or if you cross your eyes

They're gonna stick like that

And probably the most

Important advice of em all

Boy, you be sure you

Got on clean underwear

In case you're in an accident

And I owe you for veterinarian services

For feeding every lost dog that I

Dragged home at the end of the rope

And for healing the pains of puppy love

And I owe you for entertainment

Entertainment that kept the household

Going during some pretty tough times

And for wonderful productions at

Christmas, 4th of July, birthdays

And for making make believe come true

And you did it all on such a limited budget

I owe you for construction work

For building kites and confidence

Hopes and dreams and somehow

You made em all touch the sky

And for cementing together a family

So it would stand the worst kinds

Of shocks and blows and for laying down

A good strong foundation to build a life on

I owe you for carrying charges

For carrying me on your books

For the necessities of life

That a growing boy somehow

They just gotta have

Things like, ha ha

A pair of high top boots with a

Little pocket on the side

For a jackknife

And one thing, Mom, I'll never forget

When there were two pieces of pie

And three hungry people

You were always the one who decided

Well, I'm not really that hungry anyhow

These are just a few of the things

For which payment is long overdue

The person that I owe em to

Worked very, very cheap

She managed by simply doing without

A whole lotta things that she needed herself

My I.O.U.'s add up to more

Than I could ever hope to repay

But you know the nicest thing about it all

That I know that she'd mark

The entire bill paid in full

For just one kiss and four little words

Mom, I love you
