Pies have a reputation.
And it’s immediate—no talk of potential
And it’s immediate—no talk of potential
Regarding a pie. It’s good
Or it isn’t, but mostly it is—sweet, very sweet
Or it isn’t, but mostly it is—sweet, very sweet
Right then, right there, blue and red.
It can’t go to junior college,
It can’t go to junior college,
Work hard for the grades,
Work two jobs on the side.
Work two jobs on the side.
It can’t slowly build a reputation
And a growing client base.
And a growing client base.
A pie gets one chance
And knows it, wearing as makeup
And knows it, wearing as makeup
Those sparkling granules of sugar,
As a collar those diamond cutouts
As a collar those diamond cutouts
Bespeaking Fair Day, felicity, contentment.
I tell you everything is great, says a pie,
I tell you everything is great, says a pie,
Great, and fun, and fine.
And you smell nice, too, someone says.
And you smell nice, too, someone says.
A full pound of round sound, all ahh, all good.
Pies live a life of applause.
Pies live a life of applause.
