[[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>
