| A Light In the Attic There's a light on in the attic. Though the house is dark and shuttered, I can see a flickerin' flutter, And I know what it's about. I can see it from the outside, And I know you're on the inside... lookin' out. How Many, How Much How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give'em. Moon-Catchin' Net I've made me a moon-catchin' net, And I'm goin' huntin' tonight, I'll run along swingin' it over my head, And grab for that big ball of light. So tomorrow just look at the sky, And if there's no moon you can bet I've found what I sought and I finally caught The moon in my moon-catchin' net. But if the moon's still shinin' there, Look close underneath and you'll get A clear look at me in the sky swingin' free With a star in my moon-catchin' net. How Not to Have To Dry The Dishes If you have to dry the dishes (Such an awful, boring chore) If you have to dry the dishes ('Stead of going to the store) If you have to dry the dishes And you drop one on the floor- Maybe they won't let you Dry the dishes anymore. Clooney the Clown I'll tell you the story of Clooney the Clown Who worked in a circus that came through town. His shoes were too big and his hat was too small, But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all. He had a trombone to play loud silly tunes, He had a green dog and a thousand balloons. He was floppy and sloppy and skinny and tall, But he just wasn't, just wasn't funny at all. And every time he did a trick, Everyone felt a little sick. And every time he told a joke, Folks sighed as if their hearts were broke. And every time he lost a shoe, Everyone looked awfully blue. And every time he stood on his head, Everyone screamed, "Go back to bed!" And every time he made a leap, Everybody fell asleep. And every time he ate his tie, Everyone began to cry. And Cloony could not make any money Simply because he was not funny. One day he said, "I'll tell this town How it feels to be an unfunny clown." And he told them all why he looked so sad, And he told them all why he felt so bad. He told of Pain and Rain and Cold, He told of Darkness in his soul, And after he finished his tale of woe, Did everybody cry? Oh no, no, no, They laughed until they shook the trees With "Hah-Hah-Hahs" and "Hee-Hee-Hees." They laughed with howls and yowls and shrieks, They laughed all day, they all week, They laughed until they had a fit, They laughed until their jackets split. The laughter spread for miles around To every city, every town, Over mountains, 'cross the sea, From Saint Tropez to Mun San Nee. And soon the whole world rung with laughter, Lasting till forever after, While Cloony stood in the circus tent, With his drooped low and his shoulders bent. And he said, "THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT- I'M FUNNY JUST BY ACCIDENT." And while the world laughed outside, Clooney the Clown sat down and cried. Hammock Grandma sent the hammock, The good Lord sent the breeze. I'm here to do the swinging- Now, who's gonna move the trees? Stop Theif Policeman, policeman, Help me please. Someone went and stole my knees. I'd chase him down but I suspect My feet and legs just won't connect. Big Hero There was a young dog named Rero, Who acted as a big hero, He's not a real one, But he had lots of fun, Then he saved a dog named Sero. |
