lyrics: little bits of truth – boobie lehay

cd: Little Bits of Truth

track 7: Boobie Lehay

Caused my share of trouble at the tender age of three, something’s broken, eyebrows raised at me
I had an ornery friend who’d defend me to the end but some folks found him difficult to see
Boobie was low profile, he was hardly ever seen but he was there beside me just the same
When judgment I would lack ould Boobie had my back, he was there to shoulder the blame

All my indiscretions had little bits of truth and all those fingers pointing back at me
All my bad decisions, I could ‘splain ‘em all away ‘cause I had me ol’ Boobie Lahay

Gave the dog a haircut, broke a crystal lamp, crayon marks upon my mother’s walls
I may have been involved, but I would be absolved, Boobie wouldn’t let me take the fall
One day a Russian rocket went roaring off to space, I announced that Boobie was on board
When Sputnik came back down ould Boobie wasn’t found, those cosmonauts were smiling at the door

Chorus

Now this world’s a mess and it’s anybody’s guess if we can find our way back to the road
As the problems grow in size, our leaders close their eyes and talk to us like we were three years old

All you politicians speak little bits of truth with all those fingers pointing back at you
All your bad decisions, you could ‘splain ‘em all away if you could find ol Boobie Lehay
