Handsome Family Here S Hopin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here's hopin' the food don't get cold
And the phone don't ring
That thing has a habit
Of suddenly changing things

[Chorus]
Last time they called
They were looking for you
They're calling again
What am I gonna do?

[Verse 2]
Sometimes that ol' mailman,
He carries a bag of tricks
He once left me something
That sure left me in a fix

[Chorus]
That letter said lots of things
That weren't true
But everything's changed now,
And what can I do?

[Verse 3]
Just like an old movie-star
Jumps at a telegram
The second he gets it,
His brain hears those jail doors slam

[Chorus]
He'll get caught up in
An elaborate scam
With too many subplots
To count on his hands
