Well, what is she to do? Oh, what is there to do? Yeah baby go to the play All creatures great and small All things wise and wonderful The Lord, God made them all Mary, oh tell me what I'm living for Because I feel like I'm tossed in the river Oh have You a son to deliver? I said, "Father Washington, you're all mixed up Collecting sinners in an old tin cup You tell the children what they need to know But, will they listen when it's time to go" Oh, Sister Robinson, you're all washed up Collecting teardrops in a paper cup Can someone tell me what I need to know?
