Caroline, there's extra food
Sweet, stuffed cabbage
Cooked with brisket
It's nutritious iron
Vegetables
Bring it to your kids
Can't use none, Mrs. Gellman
My kids don't like it
They turn they noses up
The smell
Your mother smoked too many cigarettes
My father is a clarinet
You mean he plays the clarinet
I mean he plays the clarinet
My mama was a sad bassoon
They played duets
She smoked those packs of cigarettes
Tell them that cabbage is good for them
Make them eat what's good for them
They'll get used to the smell
I did
Reminds me of home
A northern smell
Takes me back to Ocean Parkway
They'll learn to love cabbage
I did, I did
Cabbage boil, iron beets
It makes them strong
Children should be strong and big
Big, strong children
Noah, Noah
He's so shy
His mother was shy
Ah, a hug could break him
Noah, darling
Pack after pack of cigarettes
We warned her they'd harm her
She wouldn't listen
They killed her, she's dead
They killed her, she died
Cancer get people
When they poison, sick and angry
Or it just get them 'cause it get them
No reason
Took my momma, same as yours
God make cancer, Noah
Like he make the whole world
You, me and the wash machine
When cancer eat people, Noah
It God eatin' them
God sometimes eat people
Like a wolf
He make this whole world as a test
Cancer was your momma's test
And her death is your test
You been tested too
Did God make the dryer?
No!
Devil made the dryer
Everything else, God made
Everything else, God made
