Seven A. M. the usual morning line- up

Start on the chores and sweep 'till the floor's all clean

Polish and wax do laundry and mop and shine up

Sweep again and by then it's like seven- fifteen

And so I'll read a book

Or maybe two or three

I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery

I'll play guitar and knit and cook and basically

Just wonder when will my life begin

And I'll keep wonderin'

And wonderin'

And wonderin'

And wonderin'

When will my life begin

Tomorrow night

The lights will appear

Just like they do on my birthday each year

What is it like

Out there where they glow

Now that I'm older

Mother might just let me go
