< THIS BRIDGE >This bridge will only take you halfway thereTo those mysterious lands you long to see:Through gypsy camps and swirling Arab fairsAnd moonlit woods where unicorns run free.So come and walk awhile with me and shareThe twisting trails and wondrous worlds I’ve knownBut this bridge will only take you halfway there─The last few steps you’ll have to take alone.
< MAGIC CARPET >You have a magic carpetThat will whiz you through the air,To Spain or Maine or Africa If you just tell it where.So will you let it take youWhere you’ve never been before,Or will you buy some drapes to matchAnd use it On yourFloor?< OUTSIDE OR UNDERNEATH? >Bob bought a hundred-dollar suitBut couldn’t afford any underwear.Says he, “If your outside looks real goodNo one will know what’s under there.”Jack bought some hundred-dollar shortsBut wore a suit with rips and tears.Says he, “It won’t matter what people seeAs long as I know what’s under there.”Tom bought a flute and a box of crayons,Some bread and cheese and a golden pear.And as for his suit or his underwearHe doesn’t think about them much…or care.
< MUSICAL CAREER >She wanted to play the piano,But her hands couldn’t reach the keys.When her hands could finally reach the keys,Her feet couldn’t reach the floor.When her hands could finally reach the keys,And her feet could reach the floor,She didn’t want to play that ol’ piano anymore.
< THE OAK AND THE ROSE >An oak tree and a rosebush grewYoung and green together.Talking the talk of growing things─Wind and water and weather.And while the rosebush sweetly bloomedThe oak tree grew so highThat now it spoke of newer things─Eagles, mountain peaks and sky.”I guess you think you’re pretty great,”The rose was heard to cry,Screaming as loud as it possibly could To the treetop in the sky.”And you have no time for flower talk,Now that you’ve grown so tall.””It’s not so much that I’ve grown,”said the tree,”It’s just that you’ve stayed so small.”
