Is it a Crime? - Judy Holiday
Mother and Dad handed down to me
A bit of their own philosophy
I've stuck to it like an obedient daughter
But it always lands me in hot water
I'd gladly follow out your suggestions
If you'd give me the answers to these questions
Please tell me
Is it a crime to start each day
With a laugh and a smile and a song
And is it a crime to end each day
With a laugh and a smile and a song
Is it wrong is it a crime
To call the world your valentine
Is it a crime to grab a lamp-post
And then sing Sweet Adeline
I ask you
Is it a crime to save a wee
Baby bird when it falls from its nest
That little bird should have a chance
To fly like all the rest
So if it's a crime to help old ladies cross the street
Then put me in jail
Without bail
Bread and water from an old tin pail
If that's if that's a crime
Is it a crime
Inspector I'm puzzled
We're taught two things as we go through life
One Be thy brother's keeper
And two Mind your own business
(With a laugh and a smile and a song )
Now if I know something and by telling it to someone
In distress
I could change that person's life and bring them the
Bluebird of happiness
Is it a crime to tell him or is it a crime not to
Is it that you mustn't or you've got to
Should you say: "Hey watch out for that banana peel
Bud "
Or just remain silent and then laugh as he crashes
With a thud
Inspector my job is to get messages to people on
Time
If I have a job and I see it through
And it's just my duty that I do do do
Is that is that --
Inspector let's go back a few thousand years
If there had been answering services then and if it
Had been up to me
I could have changed the course of history
I could have prevented many a famous tragedy
(With a laugh and a smile and a song )
Why every night I lie awake and my cheeks grow
Soaking wet
When I think of what I could have done for Romeo and
Juliet
"Hello Verona-Phone Oh yes Mr Romeo Juliet
Capulet called The message is: 'To avoid getting
Married to other fellow am playing dead Friar
Laurence gave me a great big sleeping pill but when I
Wake up we'll head for the border ' Oh don't thank
Me it's all in a day's work "
See what I could have done
Maybe I'm right
Maybe I'm wrong
But if I got that message through on time I'm telling
You
Those two kids would be alive today
So if it's a crime to help old ladies cross the
Street
Then I confess
I'm just a mess
Mother and Dad you were wrong I guess
Inspector were they wrong
