Mama Cass Elliot – Cherries Jubilee lyrics

Through the hard times of my life, you came to me
And you said that you'd be there
You reached out your hand and said come on
I remember times when I, I didn't want to be
You congratulated me for being strong and hangin' on

You brought me happiness and taught me how to sing
You have given me my wings and now I'd like to offer you
This mandolin that's been in my family
It's been around since '33 or '32

Now I know you need a lady and I want to see
I want to see you with someone who will love you strong and let you be
And in the morning when she comes to you
She'll bring to you a fresh papaya with mint tea
Scrambled eggs, and cherries jubilee

You brought me happiness and taught me how to sing
You have given me my wings and now I'd like to offer you
A friendly call when you're down and feeling blue
You know what I'd like to do is offer me to you

You know I love you like my brother and I want to be
I want to be your special friend
I want to know you when we're 93

You brought me happiness and taught me how to sing
You have given me my wings and now I'd like to offer you
Some scrambled eggs and some cherries jubilee
You know where I'd like to be is home with you
Home with you
Home with you
