about

Brad's mom's favorite Tater song! First time we've had a banjo on a CD, courtesy of Greg. Craig is on piano, and toy piano. The opening verse was originally "40 dwarves on the floor making fun of the queen", but that was just too hard to sing. Not that it made much more sense either way...

Wax Paper

------------------------
You wouldn't believe all the things that I've seen
40 girls on the floor, making fun of the queen
Wax paper, Wax paper

You wouldn't believe all the people I know
But they're never around when I'm wanting to go
Wax paper, Wax paper

Wax paper, much later, Wax paper, Wax paper, oh...

You wouldn't believe all the places I've been
All the troubles that I never thought I'd be in
Wax paper, Wax paper

You wouldn't believe where I'm going tonight
Or the stories I'll tell when I'm back in the light
Wax paper, Wax paper

Wax paper, much later, Wax paper, Wax paper, oh...

I can feel the people hold me to the light
With their fingers poking through
Seeing what they want, details never bright
What am I supposed to do?

You wouldn't believe all the money I've spent
Or the places it went as I made my descent
Wax paper, Wax paper

You didn't believe what I told you before
And you're wasting my time always asking for more
Wax paper, Wax paper

Wax paper, much later, Wax paper, Wax paper, oh...
