With her good intentions,
Where would this country be
Without her
inventions?
Oh, things were rotten in the land of cotton
Until Whitney made the cotton
gin.
Now old times there will soon be forgotten
For it did the work of a hundred men.

Mother Necessity, where
would we be?
Ring me on the Alexander Graham Bell.
Thank you Alexander for the
phone.
I'd never get a date, I'd never get a job
Unless I had a telephone.
Mother
Necessity!
"Orville, Wilbur, go outside this minute,
And there continue with your
silly playing!

Take that funny looking
thing,
Take that wheel, take that wing,
I can't hear a thing that Mrs. Johnson's | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
