“Vinegar Pie”
Lyrics and Music ©2021 Hannah Shira Naiman (SOCAN)

I remember it well it was back in the fall Circling round at the old dance hall
What I wouldn’t give for you to swing me again Change hand over hand in the old grand chain

We’ve been feasting on vinegar pie
Watching the years pass us by
Baby you know that I’m ready to go
But we’re waiting for help and it’s coming slow

There once was a time we thought we had it made
We squeezed all the drops to make our lemonade
And then the cupboards were bare and all the lemons were dry
You pulled out the recipe for vinegar pie

We’ve been feasting on vinegar pie
Watching the years pass us by
Baby you know that I’m ready to go
But we’re waiting for help and it’s coming slow

Politician with your big white lies
I don’t see your family with no desperation pies
And we are waiting and we’re praying that the end is nigh
But the sick are getting sicker and so many have died

We’ve been feasting on vinegar pie
Watching the years pass us by
Baby you know that I’m ready to go
But we’re waiting for help and it’s coming slow

Coming in slow coming in slow
Oh help coming in slow

We’ve been feasting on vinegar pie
Watching the years pass us by
Baby you know that I’m ready to go
But we’re waiting for help and it’s coming slow
Coming in slow Yeah coming in slow
