I SWEAR YOU COULD TASTE THE CHICKEN AND TOMATOES
  AND THE NOODLES AND THE MARROW BONE
  BUT IT REALLY WASN'T NOTHIN' BUT SOME WATER AND POTATOES
  AND THE WONDERFUL , WONDERFUL SOUP STONE
  
  
  HANGIN' FROM A STRING IN MY MOMMA'S KITCHEN
  BACK IN THE HARD TIME DAYS
  WAS A LITTLE OL' STONE 'BOUT THE SIZE OF AN APPLE
  IT WAS SMOOTH AND WORN AND GREY .
  THERE WASN'T MUCH FOOD IN MY MOMMA'S KITCNEN
  SO WHENEVER THINGS GOT TIGHT
  MOMMA'D BOIL UP SOME WATER, PUT IN THE STONE
  AND SAY, "LET'S HAVE SOME SOUP TONIGHT"
  
  AND I SWEAR YOU COULD TASTE THE CHICKEN AND TOMATOES
  AND THE NOODLES AND THE MARROW BONE
  BUT IT REALLY WASN'T NOTHIN' BUT SOME WATER AND POTATOES
  AND THE WONDERFUL , WONDERFUL SOUP STONE
  
  IT'D BEEN IN THE FAMILY FOR A WHOLE LOT 0' YEARS
  SO WE KNEW IT WAS A NOURISHING THING
  AND I REMEMBER MOMMA AS SHE STIRRED IT THE WATER
  AND WE COULD ALL HEAR HER SING
  
  "IT'S A MAGICAL STONE AND AS LONG AS WE GOT IT
  WE'LL NEVER HAVE A HUNGRY NIGHT
  JUST ADD A LITTLE LOVE TO THE WONDERFUL SOUP STONE
  AND EVERYTHING'LL BE ALL RIGHT"
  
  AND I SWEAR YOU COULD TASTE THE CHICKEN AND TOMATOES
  AND THE NOODLES AND THE MARROW BONE
  BUT IT REALLY WASN'T NOTHIN' BUT SOME WATER AND POTATOES
  AND THE WONDERFUL , WONDERFUL SOUP STONE
  
  SO IT CARRIED US ALL THROUGH THE DARKENIN DAYS . ~
  TILL FINALLY THE SUNSHINE CAME
  AND THE SOUP STONE STARTED IN A'GATHERIN DUST
  BUT IT HUNG THERE JUST THE SAME
  AND EVER SINCE THEN THE FOOD'S BEEN PLENTY
  BUT EVERY NOW AND THEN I FIND
  THAT MOMMA IN THE KITCHEN WITH THE WONDERFUL SOUP STONE
  DRIFTS ACROSS MY MIND
  
  I SWEAR YOU I CAN TASTE THE CHICKEN AND TOMATOES
  AND THE NOODLES AND THE MARROW BONE
  BUT IT REALLY WASN'T NOTHIN' BUT SOME WATER AND POTATOES
  AND THE WONDERFUL , WONDERFUL SOUP STONE
  WE WERE NOURISHED BY THE WONDERFUL SOUP STONE
