Maybe

May-be far a-way, Or may-be real near-by, He may be pour-ing her cof-fee, She may be
straight-‘ning his tie. May-be in a house all hid-den by a hill, She's sit-ting play-ing pi-a-nah, He's sit-ting pay-ing a bill. Bet-cha they're young, ____ Bet-cha they're smart, ___ Bet they col-lect -things like ash trays and art. ____ Bet-cha they're good ___ why should-n't they be, ___ Their one mis-take was giv-ing up me. ____ So, may-be now it's time, and may-be when I wake They'll be there call-ing me "Ba-by," May-be. Bet-cha he reads, ___ Bet-cha she sews,___ May-be she's made- me a clos-et of clothes.___ May-be they're strict__ As straight as a line, __ Don't real-ly care as long as they're mine.___ So, may-be now this prayer's the last one of it's kind; Won't you please come get your ba-by, May-be._____

Little Girls
Lit-tle girls, lit-tle girls, ev-‘ry-where I turn I can see them Lit-tle girls, lit-tle girls, night and day
I eat, sleep and breathe ‘em. I'm an or-di-nar-y wom-an with feel-ings. I'd like a man to nib-ble on my ear, but I ad-mit no man has bit, so how come I'm the moth-er of the year? Lit-tle cheeks, lit-tle teeth, ev-‘ry-thing a-round me is lit-tle If I wring lit-tle necks Sure-ly I will get an ac-quit-tal Some wom-en are drip-ping with dia-monds, Some wom-en are drip-ping with pearls
Luck-y me, luck-y me, look at what I'm drip-ping with Lit-tle girls. How I hate lit-tle shoes, lit-tle socks and each lit-tle bloom-er I'd have cracked years a-go If it weren't for my sense of hu-mor Some day I'll step on their freck-les, Some night I'll straight-en their curls Send a flood, send the flu, an-y-thing that you can do to lit-tle girls. ____ Some day I'll land in the nut- house, With all the nuts, and the squirr’ls There I'll stay, tucked a-way, till the pro-hi-bi-tion of Lit-tle girl.

I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here
Ce-cile will lay out all your clothes ;Your bath is drawn by Mis-sus Greer._____ An-nette comes in to make your bed. I think I'm gon-na like it here!_____ The swim-ming pool is to the left ;The ten-nis court is in the rear.____ Have an in-struc-tor here at noon. I think I'm gon-na like it here!____ I used to room in a tomb, where I’d sit and freeze.____ Get me now, Ho-ly cow! Could some-one pinch me please! We've ne-ver had a lit-tle girl. I’m ver-y glad to vol-un-teer! ____ We hope you un-der-stand, Your wish is our com-mand. I know I'm gon-na like it here!

N.Y.C.

N. Y. C., What is it a-bout you? You're big, you're loud, you're tough. N.Y.C., I go years with-out you, Then I can’t get e-nough, ____ E-nough of the cab driv-ers an-swer-ing back__ in lan-guage far from pure, E-nough of frank-furt-ers an-swer-ing back. ____ Broth-er you know you're in N.Y.C., Too bus-y, too cra-zy, too hot, too cold; Too late, I'm sold a-gain on N.Y.C. N.C.Y., The Hud-son at sun-down, The roofs that scrape the sky. N.Y.C., The rich and the run-down, The big pa-rade goes by.____ Now, fris-co does have an in-t’rest-ing bay, ___Kan-sas Cit-y has good steaks, Chi-ca-go’s loop may be fun for a day, New  Or-leans real-ly shakes, but, N.Y.C., You make’em all post-cards. You snap, you fizz ;  The best there is you, is N.Y.C.

Something Was Missing Lyrics

I've made me a for-tune;  That for-tune made ten. Been head-lined and pro-filed, a-gain and a-gain. But, some-thing Was Miss-ing, I nev-er quite knew, That some-thing was some-one, but who? ___ My speech-es are greet-ed with thun-d’rous ac-claim, At two u-ni-ver-si-ties bear-ing my name. But, Some-thing Was Miss-ing each time I got through; That some-thing was some-one, but who? _____Who would that some-one be? How would she make it known? ____ Who would need me for me, Need me for me, a-lone?_____ The world was my oy-ster, But where was the pearl? Who dreamed I could find it in one lit-tle girl? Yes, Some-thing Was Miss-ing, But dreams can come true; That some-thing is no one but you. _____

A New Deal For Christmas Lyrics

I know the de-pres-sion's de-press-ing, The ca-rols are stilled,___ The stores are-n't filled.___ And win-dows are mi-nus their dress-ing, The chil-dren don't grin,___ The San-ta's are thin.____ And I've heard a ter-ri-ble ru-mor; “No good-will, no cheer,” But, We'll get a new deal for Christ-mas, this year! The snow-flakes are fright-ened of fall-ing, And oh, what a fix, ____ No pep-per-mint sticks. __ And all through the land folks are bawl-ing, And filled with de-spair,___ 'cause cup-boards are bare.___ But San-ta's got brand new as-sist-ants, There's noth-ing to fear, They're bring-ing a new deal for Christ-mas, this year! On Far-ley and Per-kins! On Ick-es and Wal-lace! On Mor-gen-thau and Cum-mimgs, Fill our pock-ets with dol-lars ! On Ro-per and Swan-son! Get a-long Cor-dell Hull. Get a-long, gid-dy up, Call your com-mit-tee up, Build ev-‘ry cit-y up, Cheer ev-‘ry kid-dy up, And fill ev-‘ry stock-ing with laugh-ter, We have-n't got room__ for an-y- more gloom. ___ Let's ring ev-‘ry bell, from it's raft-er, And chime cross the land; ____ “To-mor-row's at hand. ____ Those hap-py days that we were prom-ised are fin-al-ly here; We're get-ting a new deal for Christ-mas! We're get-ting a new deal for Christ-mas, this year! _____

Pied Piper

RATS! RATS! RATS!
Rats! Rats! Rats! Rats! Our king-dom for some cats, some cats. Will no one rid us of these aw-ful ver-min. They’ve chewed our fine no-ble mayor’s coat of er-mine, They’ve bit and scratched and licked and split, And for no one will they de-sist and quit, the cheese is gone, the salt-ed sprats, Are eat-en by all the Rats, Rats, Rats, rats.

POLLUTION:

My name is consternation, and I’m all for conservation of our nat’ral habitat and ev’ry thing like that. I’m all for preservation of our nat’ral vegetation,
‘Cos pollution, pollution, it’s ’gainst the constitution.
There’s spreading of disease by the little ratty fleas, let’s pass a resolution ‘Gainst all pest pollution,
‘Cos pollution, pollution, it’s ’gainst the constitution

You all must surely know my name is Glockenspiel, And in this Ham-’lin city I am a great big wheel, attention now, you townsfolk, give what I say some care, for I’m the Mayor, the Mayor, yes, the Mayor.

DEAR LORD MAYOR AND CORPORATION:
           
Dear Lord Mayor and Corporation, My plan gives consideration
As you have heard just now; I’m the Piper who knows how. For a thousand golden guilders, a small price to modern builders all these rats I shall be-guile, and lead them off in finest style; and they shall ne’er come back, Of these creatures not a track. The music from this Pipe shall surely rid and clean and wipe. These wretched rats, their dirty brown coats, which do seem to make you frown; don’t be frightened to look down, I’ll drive these rats from Ham-’lin town. For a thousand golden guilders, a small price to modern builders, don’t be frightened to look down, I’ll drive these rats from Ham-’lin town.

RING THE BELLS:

Ring, ring, ring the bells; Rock, rock, rock,rock the steeple,
A-way with rats and smell, A-way with rats and smell, now there’s room Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong for the people. Beat, beat, beat, beat the drum, beat the drum, Shake, shake, shake, shake the rattle. If you can’t sing well just hum, If you can’t sing well just hum, for the rats Ding Dong Ding Dong Ding Dong have lost the battle.

WHY MUST YOU LEAVE ME HERE? 

Why must you leave me here? Why must you leave me here? Your music did entrance my mind, such sweetness I could never find. Why must you leave me here?

LOOK WHAT THEY’VE DONE TO MY TOWN,MA:
