Lyrics
Mrs. Washington - c. Pete Silva 2022
So you say they ran like thieves
From the scene of the crime
Taking every single thing that's yours and mine
Robbers, rowdy kids, politicians, foreign spies
Or an accident of design
What's that you say Mrs. Washington
Better off the devil to know
Well you don't say Mrs. Washington
The devil makes a mighty fine foe
Well robbers, rowdy kids, politicians, foreign spies
Or an accident of design
What's that you say Mrs. Washington
Better off the devil to know
Well you don't say Mrs. Washington
The devil makes a mighty fine foe
Well you say they ran like thieves
From the scene of the crime
Taking every single thing that's yours and mine
Like an accident of design
It's an accident of design
