Martha ran the racket and the whole operation
The city hall, the club and the donuts at the station
Have some respect, but most of it was fear
She was going like that for 32nd year
A cane from a willow, a rustle in twine
A bird chirping in the bus "Martha's running out of time"
A chief at the station said that he'd shoot her
But fish doesn't get caught in a deep deep water
700 miles & over the mountain
In a small little town, there's a wishing' fountain
You gotta take a boat across the lagoon
She'll make you some bacon in the famous "greasy spoon"
