about

Uh-Huh: This song can sound like a "we're having a baby!" song, lyrically. In the book BLAME IT ON HOBOKEN, Uh-Huh describes a surprise family reunion. My main character, Caroline, is surprising her friend Jimmy, by reuniting him with his folks. This is the song she hears in her head as she walks to the park where the meeting is to take place. Things don't go as well as she's planned - but the song remains a tribute to optimism - and the positive power of families of all kinds.

Uh-Huh

I sewed a 6-toed sock and a HALF-knit sweater
But I’ve got something that will fit you better, Uh-Huh, Uh-huh
Dunked 3-dozen donuts in a barrel of beer
But I’ve got something that will keep you here, Uh-Huh, Uh-Huh

CHORUS:
Made to order, family size,
got your nose & both your eyes, Uh-Huh-huh.
Sounds like you when it starts talking.
Makes me a-laugh when we go a-walking.
Uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh

I could you paint you a picture but I’m bad with a brush
Script you a scripture I’m a saint in a rush-uh-ush, Uh-Huh
Build you a boxcar, buy your seat on a train.
Read your POSTcards from Paris, your letters from Spain-ain-ain, Uh-Huh

CHORUS

I could write you a sonnet, hang your sheets on the line
Be in your bonnet, sun in your shi-i-ine, Uh-Huh
Slide on your sidewalk, hop in your Scotch
Jitter your bug, double your Du-u-utch, uh-huh

But a present ain’t present til you give it away.
Tomorrow’s on borrow. How bout today? Uh-huh.

CHORUS
