Spencer Albee - The Ballad Of Woodrow And The Baked Bean Baroness (feat. Zach Jones & Steve Smith)

He folds the paper, stamps and seals it
And sends the letter to the baroness
He wrings his hands, he hopes she reads it
And falls in love with words she can’t forget
And as he looks up from the factory
Her father left to her he starts to sing
I see you, can you see me
You’re living at the top and I’m all the way down
In the corner of the shop at the back of your father’s factory
He sees her driving through the town
Surrounded by the spoils of elegance
He calls her name
Hello, Matilda
Even though he doesn’t stand a chance
He didn’t care about the life she lead
Thinking only of her lips instead
I see you, can you see me
You’re living at the top and I’m all the way down
In the corner of the shop at the back of your father’s factory
She thought the letter came from Max
Whose wealth was rival to the baroness
She curried that she’d received his note
And by the way the answer’s yes
But when they met in high society
He looked confused and said
That wasn’t me
I see you, can you see me
You’re living at the top and I’m all the way down
In the corner of the shop at the back of your father’s factory
She hung her head and walked while weeping
Stopping at the pub where Woodrow played
He saw her face and started singing
The words he sent to her the prior day
And like a lightning bolt had shot her through
She dropped her drink and cried
My God! It’s you
I see you, can you see me
I’m living at the top and you’re all the way down
In the corner of the shop at the back of my father’s factory
I see you, can you see me
I see you, can you see me
