Lyrics

Me and Marky on the top step
jammies on, spozed to be in bed
Watching mama yelling down below
Where would she go? We didn?t know.
Duffle bag pulled across the floor
Fills it up just a little more.
Mama she?s crying like a baby?

Silver tree shining in its place
Tiny white lights set on chase
Toys and paper lying everywhere
Where would she go? We didn?t know.
Lotsa words we can?t understand
Mama pulls something off her hand
Daddy watches silent on the sofa?.

PreCH1
She throws her coat on, she opens up the door
Snow blows inside, then we don?t see her anymore.
And that?s how Mama, she made her getaway
At 10:09 after a very special day, it was a
great escape.
Mama got through Christmas Day
Then mama made her getaway.

Me and Marky on the top step
Marky sighs there she goes again
Daddy calls hey you guys OK?
Where would she go? We didn?t know.
Daddy gives us milk and pbj
Tells us we can stay up late and play
Marky falls asleep on the sofa?.

We never knew her very well
She acted like she liked us, but we could never really tell?

And that?s how Mama, she made her getaway
We tried to cry but our eyes would not obey, it was a
great escape.
Mama got through Christmas Day
Then mama made her getaway.

Break
We never knew her all that well
She acted like she liked us but you could never really tell?

And that?s how Mama, she made her getaway
At 10:09 after a very special day, it was a
great escape.
Mama got through Christmas Day
Then mama made her getaway.
