Soda-Swillin' Mama

Rate: 2 Flag

 

New York Mayor Bloomberg has proposed the nation’s first prohibition of over-sized soda at public venues.
--news item

Lay that soda down, babe,
Lay that soda down,
Soda-swillin' mama,
Lay that soda down.

Oh, drinkin' pop in a Starbucks spot
And was she gainin' pounds,
Until one night I caught her right
A-buyin' others rounds.

Lay that soda down, babe,
Lay that soda down,
Soda-swillin' mama,
Lay that soda down.

Oh, she tried to hide the jumbo drink,
Pretendin' it was Splenda
But the house all knew that she was through,
I'd caught her on a bender.

Lay that soda down, babe,
Lay that soda down,
Soda-swillin' mama,
Lay that soda down.

She went and lost the sugar fix,
And gained a better fate
She saw pure reason, I stopped teasin',
And she lost lots o' weight,

Lay that soda down, babe,
Lay that soda down,
Soda-swillin' mama--

Laid that soda down.

here's a link to the song "Pistol Packin' Mama"
I wonder if someday this issue will be discussed in history classes the way the Prohibition of alcohol is now discussed. If so, perhaps the accompanying text will have your great song in the sidebar!
