Arrogant Worms - The Ballad OF Edna and Ida lyrics

rate me

Edna and Ida are living in a home

both in their eighties, both widows

their kids only call to say

they'll come by some other day

Well christmas came and the kids did not

so Edna said "thats their last shot"

she called a taxi to the bus

which took them down to Las Vegas

Edna and Ida are going on a tear

ripping up the strip and letting down their blue hair

Edna and Ida are spending every cent

of their children's inheritance

Shooting craps down at Ceasers

knocking back margueritas

Ida on her walker Edna in her chair

Dancing on the table throwing money in the air

they were at the strip club making noise

when they spotted two frat boys

who they got drunk and married later

in a ceremony by an Elvis imitator

They laid down for a nap and never got up

at the reading of their wills all the kids showed up

the lawyer read the crumpled note that said "To everyone,

we can't take it with us, but you aint getting none."
