Dolly
I've sliced my slice of life a little thin
Haven't I, Ephraim?
I've been on the outside looking in
Haven't I, Ephraim?
Well, from now on, Ephraim,
All that's going to change.
The world is full of wonderful things,
a bushel of wonderful things for me to believe in
So world, take me back
I want to be part of the human race again
And bid good-bye to all my trouble and tears
I've wasted so many odd years
It's time to get even
So world, take me back
I want to let laughter light up my face again
Oh, no more peeking through the keyhole
I intend to have my own key
No more sneaking past the parlor
From now on, it's me sitting on the settee.
Oh, today's a day to holler about
for after just sitting life out
since heavens know when.
My step has a spring and a drive
I'm suddenly young and alive
You wonderful world,
Take me back again!
The world is full of Aprils
