Bright And Beautiful Things
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet,
And eating her curds and her whey.
And along came a spider and sat down beside her
And frightened Miss Muffet away.
Oh, what a shame.
Oh, who do you blame ?
The spider soon finished his web,
And the rain came down, and hung it with diamonds.
And a bird flew along, with the stroke of his wing
Broke the web, he and the spider.
Oh, what a shame.
Oh, who do you blame ?
The bird flew up high into the sky,
And the sun lit the tips of his wet wings with fire.
And a man with a gun shot him down to the ground,
And went home and sung in the choir.
