Handsome Family Here S Hopin Lyrics
Here's Hopin' by Handsome Family
[Verse 1]
Here's hopin' the food don't get cold
And the phone don't ring
That thing has a habit
Of suddenly changing things
[Chorus]
Last time they called
They were looking for you
They're calling again
What am I gonna do?
[Verse 2]
Sometimes that ol' mailman,
He carries a bag of tricks
He once left me something
That sure left me in a fix
[Chorus]
That letter said lots of things
That weren't true
But everything's changed now,
And what can I do?
[Verse 3]
Just like an old movie-star
Jumps at a telegram
The second he gets it,
His brain hears those jail doors slam
[Chorus]
He'll get caught up in
An elaborate scam
With too many subplots
To count on his hands
Here's hopin' the food don't get cold
And the phone don't ring
That thing has a habit
Of suddenly changing things
[Chorus]
Last time they called
They were looking for you
They're calling again
What am I gonna do?
[Verse 2]
Sometimes that ol' mailman,
He carries a bag of tricks
He once left me something
That sure left me in a fix
[Chorus]
That letter said lots of things
That weren't true
But everything's changed now,
And what can I do?
[Verse 3]
Just like an old movie-star
Jumps at a telegram
The second he gets it,
His brain hears those jail doors slam
[Chorus]
He'll get caught up in
An elaborate scam
With too many subplots
To count on his hands
