Our Shangri-LA

W/B Booker & Browne 


 I got a fifties kitchen table, about twenty years ago

Bought it thru the Pennysaver spent thirty bucks or so

Purchased a Kenmore washer dryer a refrigerator too

Bought’m on a credit card which I’ll no longer do

 

Got an ole victrola cabinet from a house we use to rent

Took out all the broken parts and put my stereo in it.

Got two oak coffee tables, for only fifteen bucks

Got’m when the kids were small and now their all scratched up

 

No nothen here is worth much but the memories are rich

We didn’t have much money, but we earned every stich

We didn’t work to keep up, with any of the Jone’s

No nothing here is worth much but it’s our Shangrala we own it

 

There’s a colorful pecoso hangen over the stove

We got it from a friend of ours who didn’t want it anymore

The wall  in the living room are lined with all the kids

All those little faces go from birth to adolescence

 

Now looken in the bedroom you’ll see an ole bed frame

I rescued from a backyard before it was thrown away.

The neighbors Grandpa died and we got the dressing table

Fixed the broken leg and now it’s really really stable

 

 No nothen here is worth much, but the memories are rich

We didn’t have much money, but we earned every stitch

We didn’t work to keep up, with any of the Jone’s

No nothen here is worth much but it’s our Shangrala we own it
