Maybe
Annie:
Maybe far away
Or maybe real near by
He may be pourin’ her coffee,
She may be straight’nin’ his tie!
Maybe in a house
All hidden by a hill,
Molly: She’s sittin’ playin’ piano
Tessie: He’s sittin’ payin’ a bill.
Annie: Betcha they’re young
Betcha they’re smart
July: Bet they collect things
Duffy: Like ashtrays and art!
Kate: Betcha they’re good.
Pepper: Why wouldn’t they be?
All: Their one mistake
was givin’ up me!
Annie:
So, maybe now it’s time,
And maybe when I wake,
All:
They’ll be there, callin’ me “Baby,”
May – be.
Annie:
Betcha he reads.
Betcha she sews.
Maybe she’s made me
a closet of clothes!
Maybe they’re strict,
as straight as a line.
Don’t really care,
as long as they’re mine!
So, maybe now this prayer’s
The last one of its kind:
Won’t you please come
get your “Baby,”
All: May – Be?

Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
There'll be sun!
Just thinkin' about Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs, and the sorrow
'Til there's none!
When I'm stuck with a day
that's gray, and lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin, and Say, Oh!
The sun'll come out Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on 'til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always a day a-way!

Little Girls - Miss Hannigan
Little girls, little girls
Everywhere I turn I can see them
Little girls, little girls
Night and day I eat sleep and
breathe them
Some women are drippin’ with diamonds
Some women are drippin’ with pearls
Lucky me, Lucky me
Look at what I’m drippin’ with
Lit-tle girls!
Someday I’ll step on their freckles
Some night I’ll straighten their curls
Send the flood Send the flu
Anything that you can do to
Lit-tle girls!

Silly to cry. Nothin’ to fear.
Betcha where they live’s as nice as right here.
Betcha my life is gonna be swell.
Lookin’ at them, it’s easy to tell.
And maybe I’ll forget
How nice he was to me,
And how I was almost his ba-by…
May – be.
