Say you wanna see my garden And you wanna make it shine Say you wanna see my blue jeans Hanging on your old clothesline Standing in the backdoor crying Now you wanna be my friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends Now what's a little baby doing Dressing up in banker's clothes? Now what's a little sweetheart like you Doing with a bloody nose? Standing in the backdoor crying Now you're gonna need a friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends Now once you had a hook and ladder Up into the headless night And once you had a motorcycle But you couldn't ride it right Standing in the doorway crying Now you're gonna need a friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends Someone said something one time But Daddy didn't talk too loud People oughta stick together That's the way to make a crowd But here you come alone and crying Now you wanna be my friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends Momma's in the beauty parlor And Daddy's in the baseball pool Sister's in the drive-in movie Brother's in the old high school Now here you come alone and crying Once, you know, you were my friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole thing ends Standing in the backdoor crying Now you wanna be my friend That's the way the cornbread crumbles That's the way the whole things ends
