Sew What

I was riding on a (choo choo) train to visit my sweet mimmy
 When along came a man in a big brown hat said,
 (gimme, gimme, gimme)
 He took everything that I ever owned
 including my gift for my mimmy
 but he left me a pattern and a couple of scraps
 so I shimmied up a gift for my mimmy
 Sew what, sew what,
 sew me a memory
 stitch solidarity
 sewn by my melody
 Sew what, sew what,
 sew me a memory
 I'll craft for eternity
 cuz' I'm free
 I was biking down (highway)30 to visit my local market
 When a storm blew in and my little baby chin
 couldn't grin cuz' it was cold
 I didn't have time to go back home and get myself my scarf
 But I had a couple needles and a ball of yarn
 So I knitted up a shawl
 Sew what, sew what,
 sew me a memory
 stitch solidarity
 sewn by my melody
 Sew what, sew what,
 sew me a memory
 I'll craft for eternity
 cuz' I'm free
 So the moral of the story and the story has a moral
 about the times and the trials of a gal
 When life gives you nothing and you make it out of something
 and something can never be nothing
 Who's got a pocket full of pony beads in their pocket?
 (Oh I do!)
 Who's got a bungle of ribbon down in their satchel?
 (Oh I do!)
 Who's got a drawer of felt straps in their closet?
 (Oh I do!)
 You call that nothing? I call that something
 That's a wall hanging!
 Sew what, sew what,
 sew me a memory
 stitch solidarity
 sewn by my melody
 Sew what, sew what,
 sew me a memory
 I'll craft for eternity
 cuz' I'm free
