I had so many runs to make, I didn't get to the mall 'til late

Yesterday I had so many errands to run
and runarounds to runaround an'roun' in
the heet an smaggg I swam thru the See
uv Humididy 'til I coodnt tell well where much
I wuz, at thad pard'kulr momnt. Yoo see,
I wuzn't beside me, but Thank God! Yoo
were there, I knew, all this time, and got
me to the mall just before closin' time,
where I bawt a shirt to wear to an old-time
fren's retirement party (Yoo know who she be),
and thus appear comfordblee middle-class,
jus' in case I do get there, woodn't wanna
stick ou' like a poor thumm a' her event, now
wood eye? Lord, yoo'v given us this bond,
somehow still holdin after all theez yearz, like
a cord from one ta' th'other down an alpine ...
oh yoo get th' medafor ov koarse ... jus' pleez
Lord get me ta' th'pardy on time!
