Scene: Archibalds Library Earth

ARCHIBALD:A bit of earth,
She wants a little bit of earth.
Shell plant some seeds.
The seeds will grow,
The flowers bloom,
But is their bounty
What she needs?
How can she chance
To love a little bit of earth?
Does she not know?
The earth is old,
And doesnt care if
One small girl wants things to grow.
She needs a friend.
She needs a father,
Brother, sister,
Mothers arms.
She needs to laugh.
She needs to dance,
And learn to work
Her girlish charm.
She needs a home,
The only thing she really needs
I cannot give.
Instead she asks
A bit of earth
To make it live!
She should have a pony,
Gallop cross the moor.
She should have a dolls house
With a hundred rooms per floor.
Why cant she ask for a treasure?
Something that money can buy,
That wont die!
When Id give her the world,
She asks, instead
For some earth.
A bit of earth,
She wants a little bit of earth,
Shell plant some seeds.
The seeds will grow,
The flowers bloom,
Their beauty just the thing she needs .
Shell grow to love the tender roses,
Lilies fair, the iris tall.
And then in fall, her bit of earth
Will freeze and kill them all.
A bit of earth, a bit of earth,
A bit of earth, a bit of earth.
