Maybe - Little Orphan Annie

Maybe far away 
Or maybe real nearby 
He may be pouring her coffee 
She may be straighting his tie! 

Maybe in a house 
All hidden by a hill 
She's sitting playing piano, 
He's sitting paying a bill! 

Betcha they're young 
Betcha they're smart 
Bet they collect things 
Like ashtrays, and art! 

Betcha they're good -- 
(Why shouldn't they be?) 
Their one mistake 
Was giving up me! 

So maybe now it's time, 
And maybe when I wake 
They'll be there calling me "Baby"... 
Maybe. 


Betcha he reads 
Betcha she sews 
Maybe she's made me 
A closet of clothes! 

Maybe they're strict 
As striaght as a line... 
Don't really care 
As long as they're mine! 

So maybe now this prayer's 
The last one of it's kind... 
Won't you please come get your "Baby" 

Annie and Orphans
