lyrics

Hey guys you remember that cute little kid
The one with the giggle and the big red hat
The one who's momma got the Sarge so mad
Coz he couldn't even get the her momma's name right

She thought my colour would come off on her hand
You said “Leroy , she just seen her first black man!
She talked all the time in that strange 'Slandic language
That sounded so weird, but we laughed anyway

Remember how she talked all the way off the mountain
She sat on my knees all the way
There was her and her momma and that boy with Downs
His mom didn't have much to say

You know I think of that kid every day
She sure put a smile on my face
You know I think of that kid every day
I hope she will be okay

You remember the legs of the chick at the drop off
I think she smiled as she led them away
That place looked so good, like a five- star hotel
I'm sure that kid 'll be happy there

The one thing that bugs me is what happened
The kid left her hat behind in the truck
Was the way that the chick looked down on me
When I asked her to make sure she got it back
