War was making all those in bottles; But the big Indian was not the father people die. but last week she said they grew on of the little Indian. They’re so pretty, so pretty. special baby-bushes. You see the riddle is: Then my teacher said and took I don’t believe in the storks, either! If the little Indian was the son of my hand, They’re all in the zoo, busy with their the big Indian, “They must die for peace you own babies! But the big Indian was not the father understand.” And what’s a baby-bush, anyway!? of the little Indian, But they’re so pretty, so pretty. My name is Barbara. Then who was he? I don’t understand. I'll give you two measures… “Jupiter Has Seven Moons” His mother! “Nothing More than This” Jupiter has seven moons or is Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim it nine? “I’m a Person Too” Saturn has a million, billion, I just found out today that I’m a Is it this, the meaning of my life, trillion sixty-nine; person too, like you: The sacred trust I treasure, And ev’ry one is a little sun, I like balloons; lots of people Nothing more than this? with six little moons of its own! like balloons: All of my hope and pleasure, But we have only one! But ev’ryone says, “Isn’t she cute? No more than this? Just think of all the fun we’d have if She likes balloons!” The love I dreamed and cried for, there were nine! I’m a person too, like you! Nothing more than this? Then we could be just nine times I like things that ev’ryone likes: All that I killed and died for, more romantic! I like soft things and movies No more than this? Dogs would bay ’til they were frantic! and horses That smile, that face, that halo we’d have nine tides in the Atlantic! and warm things and red things: around it, The man in the moon would don’t you? That youth, that charm, that grace, be gigantic! I have lots of thoughts; like what’s Behold I have found it, But we have only one! Only one! behind the sky; Nothing more than this, and what’s behind what’s behind No more than this. “I Hate Music!” the sky: What did you dream, I hate music, but I like to sing But ev’ryone says, “Isn’t she sweet? Angel face with flaxen hair, La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la! She wants to know ev’rything!” Soul as dead as face was fair? But that's not music! Don’t you? Did you ever care? Not what I call music, no sir! Of course I’m very young to be Yes, you cared for what these Music is a lot of men with a lot saying all these things purses hold, of tails, in front of so many people like you; You cared for gold, you cared Making lots of noise like a lot but I’m a person too! for gold. of females.
