DANDELION BOUQUET (keating)
Might have been the first time
I ever walked home from school
With the older girl Karen
She was seven and so cool
Our mothers were waiting
At home for us
Cause this was the first time
They let us not take the bus
As we started walking
We came 'cross a field
Covered in yellow
That's when Karen kneeled
Down for the first stem
And there we would stay
For our mothers we'd pick them
A dandelion bouquet
Our dandelion bouquet
We'd pick for our mothers
Till the end of the day
We thought we'd pick
Just a few
But we stayed there for hours
Cause we'd never seen
Such beautiful flowers
As the sun dipped below us
Without a care
We heard our mothers screaming
Our names through the air
When they finally found us
They knelt down and cried
Tears of relief
They thought we had died
With smiles on our faces
And love in our eyes
We offered those flowers
That felt like a prize
But then Karens mother
Cursed them back to their seeds
Knocked them out of our hands
Said they were just weeds
Our dandelion bouquet
We picked for our mothers
Till the end of the day
We thought we'd pick just a few
But we stayed there for hours
We'd never seen
Such beautiful flowers

JUST LIKE ANGELINA (mayone)
Oh my girl you were so young when you stepped off the boat
Into a new world you were thrown a lump in your throat
A foreigner in a foreign land sad signora
I can still hear her voice as I'm making the sauce
Just like Angelina
Black smoke rising out of chimney stacks making pennies a day
A crust of bread and a tenement she worked like a slave
A stranger in a strange land missing la famiglia
I can still feel her force as I'm stirring the sauce
Just like Angelina
Oh my girl you were so old when I was a kid
Making gravy in the afternoon simmering under the lid
You made a home in a homeless world and I was your little bambino
I can still feel her hugs in her arms all wrapped up
With all the love between us
Though the recipe's lost I can still make the sauce
Just like Angelina's
Just like Angelina
