rate me<br>
[[George]]<br>
If the head was smaller...<br>
If the tail were longer...<br>
If he faced the water...<br>
If the paws were hidden...<br>
If the neck was darker...<br>
If the back was curved...<br>
More like the parasol...<br>
<br>
Bumbum bum bumbumbum<br>
Bumbum bum...<br>
More shade...<br>
More tail...<br>
More grass!...<br>
Would you like some more grass?<br>
Mmmm...<br>
<br>
[[Spot (George)]]<br>
Ruff! Ruff!<br>
Thanks, the week has been rough!<br>
When you're stuck for life on a garbage scow<br>
Only forty feet long from stern to prow<br>
And a crackpot in the bow-wow, rough!<br>
The planks ere rough<br>
And the wind is rough<br>
And the master's drunk and mean and-<br>
Grrrruff! Gruff!<br>
With the fish and scum<br>
And planks end ballast-<br>
The nose gets numb<br>
And the pews Bet callused.<br>
And with splinters in your ass,<br>
You look forward to the grass<br>
On Sunday,<br>
The day off.<br>
Off! Off! Off!<br>
Off!<br>
<br>
The grass needs to be thicker. Perhaps a few weeds.<br>
And some ants. if you would. I love fresh ants.<br>
<br>
Roaming around on Sunday,<br>
Poking among the roots and rocks.<br>
Nose to the ground on Sunday,<br>
Studying all the shoes and socks.<br>
Everything's worth it Sunday,<br>
The day off.<br>
Bits of pastry...<br>
Piece of chicken...<br>
Here's a handkerchief<br>
That somebody was sick in.<br>
<br>
There's a thistle...<br>
That's a shallot...<br>
That's a dripping<br>
From the loony with the palette...<br>
<br>
[[Fifi(George)]]<br>
Yap! Yap!<br>
Yap!<br>
Out for the day on Sunday,<br>
Off of my lady's lap at last.<br>
Yapping away on Sunday<br>
Helps you forget the week just past-<br>
Yep! Yep!<br>
Everything's worth it Sunday,<br>
The day off.<br>
Yep!<br>
Stuck all week on a lady's lap.<br>
Nothing to do but yawn and nap.<br>
Can you blame me if I yap?<br>
<br>
[[Spot]]<br>
Nope.<br>
<br>
[[Fifi]]<br>
There's only so much attention a dog can take.<br>
Being alone on Sunday,<br>
Rolling around in mud and dirt-<br>
<br>
[[Spot]]<br>
Begging a bone on Sunday,<br>
Settling for a spoiled dessert-<br>
<br>
[[Fifi]]<br>
Everything's worth it<br>
<br>
[[Spot]]<br>
Sunday...<br>
<br>
[[Fifi]]<br>
The day off.<br>
<br>
[[Spot]]<br>
Something fuzzy...<br>
<br>
[[Fifi]]<br>
Something furry...<br>
<br>
[[Spot]]<br>
Something pink<br>
That someone tore off in a hurry...<br>
<br>
[[Fifi]]<br>
What's the muddle<br>
In the middle?<br>
<br>
[[Spot]]<br>
That's the puddle<br>
Where the poodle did the piddle.<br>
<br>
[[George]]<br>
Taking the day on Sunday,<br>
Now that the dreary week is dead.<br>
Getting away on Sunday<br>
Brightens the dreary week ahead.<br>
Everyone's on display on Sunday-<br>
<br>
[[All]]<br>
The day off!<br>
<br>
[[George]]<br>
Bonnet flapping.<br>
Bustle sliding,<br>
Like a rocking horse that nobody's been riding<br>
There's a daisy-<br>
And some clover-<br>
And that interesting fellow looking over...<br>
<br>
[[Old Lady]]<br>
Nurse!<br>
<br>
[[Nurse and George]]<br>
One day is much like any other,<br>
Listening to her snap and drone.<br>
<br>
[[Nurse]]<br>
Still, Sunday with someone's dotty mother<br>
Is better then Sunday with your own.<br>
Mothers may drone, mothers may whine-<br>
Tending to his, though, is perfectly fine.<br>
It pays for the nurse that is tending to mine<br>
On Sunday,<br>
My day off.<br>
<br>
[[Frieda]]<br>
You know, Franz-I believe that artist is drawing us.<br>
<br>
[[Franz]]<br>
Who?<br>
<br>
[[Frieda]]<br>
Monsieur's friend.<br>
<br>
[[Franz]]<br>
Monsieur would never think to draw us! We are only people he looks down upon.<br>
<br>
[[George & Frieda]]<br>
Second bottle...<br>
<br>
[[George & Franz]]<br>
Ah, she looks for me...<br>
<br>
[[Frieda]]<br>
He is bursting to go...<br>
<br>
[[Franz]]<br>
Near the fountain...<br>
<br>
[[Frieda]]<br>
I could let him...<br>
<br>
[[Franz]]<br>
How to manage it-?<br>
<br>
[[Frieda]]<br>
No<br>
<br>
[[Franz]]<br>
I should have been an artist. I was never intended for work.<br>
<br>
[[Frieda]]<br>
Artists work, Franz. I believe they work very hard.<br>
<br>
[[Franz]]<br>
Work!<br>
We work.<br>
<br>
We serve their food,<br>
We carve their meat,<br>
We tend to their house,<br>
We polish their<br>
Silverware.<br>
<br>
[[Frieda]]<br>
The food we serve<br>
We also eat.<br>
<br>
[[Franz]]<br>
For them we rush,<br>
Wash and brush,<br>
Wipe and wax<br>
<br>
[[Frieda]]<br>
Franz, relax.<br>
<br>
[[Franz]]<br>
While he "creates,"<br>
We scrape their plates<br>
And dust their knickknacks,<br>
Hundreds to the shelf.<br>
Work is what you do for others,<br>
Liebchen,<br>
Art is what you do for yourself.<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #1]]<br>
Look.<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #2]]<br>
Where?<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #1]]<br>
Soldiers.<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #2]]<br>
Alone.<br>
<br>
[[Soldier]]<br>
What do you think?<br>
I like the one in the light hat.<br>
<br>
[[Soldier and George]]<br>
Mademoiselles,<br>
I and my friend,<br>
We are but soldiers!<br>
<br>
[[Soldier]]<br>
Passing the time<br>
In between wars<br>
For weeks at an end.<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #1]]<br>
Both of them are perfect.<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #2]]<br>
You can have the other.<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #1]]<br>
I don't want the other.<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #2]]<br>
I don't want the other either.<br>
<br>
[[Soldier]]<br>
And after a week<br>
Spent mostly indoors<br>
With nothing but soldiers,<br>
Ladies, I and my friend<br>
Trust we will not offend,<br>
Which we'd never intend,<br>
By suggesting we spend-<br>
<br>
[[Celestes]]<br>
Oh, spend-<br>
<br>
[[Soldier]]<br>
-This magnificent Sunday-<br>
<br>
[[Celestes]]<br>
Oh, Sunday-<br>
<br>
[[Soldier]]<br>
With you and your friend.<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #2]]<br>
The one on the right's an awful bore...<br>
<br>
[[Celeste #1]]<br>
He's been in a war.<br>
<br>
[[Soldier]]<br>
We may get a meal and we might get more...<br>
<br>
[[Celestes and Soldier]]<br>
It's certainly fine for Sunday...<br>
It's certainly fine for Sunday...<br>
It's certainly fine for Sunday...<br>
<br>
[[George and Boatman]]<br>
You and me, pal,<br>
We're the loonies.<br>
Did you know that?<br>
Bet you didn't know that.<br>
<br>
[[Boatman]]<br>
'Cause we tell them the truth!<br>
Who you drawing?<br>
Who the hell you think you're drawing?<br>
Me?<br>
You don't know me!<br>
Go on drawing,<br>
Since you're drawing only what you want to see,<br>
Anyway!<br>
One eye, no illusion-<br>
That you get with two<br>
One for what is true.<br>
One for what suits you.<br>
Draw your wrong conclusion,<br>
All you artists do.<br>
I see what is true...<br>
<br>
[[All]]<br>
Taking the day on Sunday<br>
After another week is dead.<br>
<br>
[[Old Lady]]<br>
Nurse!<br>
<br>
[[All]]<br>
Getting away on Sunday<br>
Brightens the dreary week ahead.<br>
<br>
[[Old Lady]]<br>
Nurse!<br>
<br>
[[All]]<br>
Leaving the city pressure<br>
Behind you,<br>
Off where the air is fresher,<br>
Where green, blue,<br>
Blind you-<br>
<br>
<br>
