All Day Tomorrow

. for public domain All Day Tomorrow ( a cast of characters in song ) Homeless Jo and Jane: We've got all day tomorrow, to wait by the New Jersey shore, to beg for a nickel 'cause we're in a pickle. No end to us being so poor. Tonight let us rub off our bruises, tonight let us sing bright and gay. We filled up our bellies, the storefront has telly. Tomorrow may bring a good day. Parson at the pulpit: We've got all day tomorrow, to dry all the tears we will shed. Our Blessings are fickle. 'cause we're in a pickle. We can't count the hairs on our head. Tonight let us kneel with our Savior, tonight pass on worries what may. Hand all of our cares to Jesus upstairs. Tomorrow may bring a good day. Children: We've got all day tomorrow, for skinning our knees out at play. We've no butter brickle. We haven't a nickel. We're poor as the kids in Bombay. Tonight all our bellies will grumble, tonight, while the folks are away, we'll run through the halls, and mark up the walls. Tomorrow may bring a good day. And so on, and so forth with Parents, Fire Fighters, EMT's, Police Officers, Imam's, Rabbi's, Old West Gunslingers, Suffragettes, Pig Farmers, Bankers, Bad Guys in dark alleys, Peppermint Patty, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Odin, Cats, Screen Guild Members, and the Shadowy Neighbor next door who no one wants to meet.
