I'm just passing through 
This tumbleweed town
Wondering why anyone would
Bother to stay around
When the truths that are spoken
By our mothers and fathers

Another night in Central Park
For Shakespeare, as the sky turns dark.
My husband made the tickets hap,
A bonny feather in his cap.

The audience,...

J-ust turn the other cheek, 
E-vening the black and blue; 
N-o two wrongs make a right,
