Testo Suppertime Ella Fitzgerald
Supper time
I should set the table
âcause itâs supper time
Somehow Iâm not able
âcause that man oâmine
Ainât cominâ home no more
Supper time
Kids will soon be yellinâ
For their supper time
Howâll I keep from tellinâ
Them that man oâmine
Ainât cominâ home no more?
Howâll I keep explaininâ when they ask me where heâs gone?
Howâll I keep from cryinâ when I bring their supper on?
How can I remind them to pray at their humble board?
How can I be thankful when they start to thank the lord
Lord!
Supper time
I should set the table
âcause itâs supper time
Somehow Iâm not able
âcause that man oâmine
Ainât cominâ home no more
