Rose Recovers

Never mind

I wanted to tell you my father is coming

For Hanukkah soon

So let's make up the extra bedroom when you get a second

And also next Sunday

Could you ask Dot and Emmie

To help with the party from seven to ten?

I'll have to ask Dottie

I was just trying to help you, you know

With the money

It was only a game

So sue me already, Miss Crabby Appleton

I don't know what's eating you

Some people, honestly!

There's oppression and misery

And then there are people who are just plain nasty

Just trying to be friendly

Just trying to be a friend

Anyway

The shirt's still good

Look where the quarter was

You can almost read the little writing

"Liberty

In God we trust"

You must've been ironing mighty hard

That's why the clothes come out so crisp

General George Washington would approve of you

How are those kids?

Those kids of yours?

'Scuse me, Miss Gellman

I got to put the laundry in the dryer

(Some folks goes to school at night)

The shirt's still good

Just a little burnt

(Some folks march for civil rights)

Take it

Use it for cleaning or something

(Some folks prosper)

(Then there's those)

(Picking coins from dirty clothes)

We'll see you upstairs

Caroline

Something else on your mind

'Sides Jingle Bells

You the queen of keep at bay

What was once or might have been

Little change

And strange to say

Yesterday come crashin' in
