==Lyrics==
:Another morning
:I’m still in mourning
:An empty space where she once lived
:But tiny footsteps
:Dance down the stairwell
:Reminders of the joy she gives
:I feel so sad
:Yet seldom am I lonely
:With those little grins to greet the day
:Two mouths to feed
:My precious one-and-onlies
:Gotta keep’em smiling with all I say
:So I’m singing…
Another morning I’m still in mourning An empty space where she once lived But tiny footsteps Dance down the stairwell Reminders of the joy she gives I feel so sad Yet seldom am I lonely With those little grins to greet the day Two mouths to feed My precious one-and-onlies Gotta keep’em smiling with all I say So I’m singing…:Makin’ bacon :Makin’ makin’ bacon:Makin’ bacon:Makin’ makin’ bacon :Singing…
Makin’ :I’m makin’ bacon:Daddy’s makin’ bacon:Cooking up some love to feed my family
Makin’ bacon:I sip my coffee:Wave to the school bus:Avoid the mess, avoid my pain:I roll some papers:Crush those leafy crystals:Breathe deep:Inhale :My sinful lover Mary-Jane
Makin’ makin’ bacon:I get so high :But never am I happy Singing…:A double shift still looms today:I gotta work:But, man, do I feel crappy:Gotta keep on grinding and still get paid:So I’m…
:Makin’ bacon
:Gotta make the bacon
:Makin’ bacon
:Makin’ makin’ bacon
:Singing…
:I’m sick of fakin’
:Gotta quit this wake and bakin’
:Gotta make that bacon
:Gotta feed my family
:I think I’m makin’ baconready :To turn some pages :Rewrite this tale… The end’s not done:Be with a partner :Cuz it’s been ages:I’m craving LOVE and some big boy fun
Daddy’s makin’ bacon:I could swipe right :Or try to digitize her:But robo-dating ain’t for me:I’ll stick with bars, dance halls, picnics, parties:Old-school socializing sets me free :And then…
Cooking up some love to feed my family:Rooms melt :Eyes meet :Souls merge:The clouds beneath your feet:A new friend:A TRUE lover:And in an instant we’re rolling in the covers singing… :Yeah!
:So here’s the lesson
:Of what I’ve told you
:Just keep the faith
:And trust it’s not too long
:When life is darkest
:We must keep our light on
:With humor, grace, and sometimes
:Singing songs…
:Sing it with me NOW!!
