Big New World
Is it all this tall? 
Shelves in the den 
And the fan blades that spin 
Seem far away; 
On my hands and knees 
I can crawl the hall, 
Wide open door 
To the warm carpet floor 
Says, "Please come through." 
When I'm alone and in my room 
And lights are low, 
I want some more of all those things 
That make time go; 
I like the strange and changing 
Daytime sights and sounds 
And I like that ev'ning fun 
When everyone's around. 
In the pots and pans 
I enjoy myself; 
Food I'll consume 
If I hold my own spoon 
In my own way. 
When I'm alone and in my room 
And lights are low, 
I want some more of all those things 
That make time go; 
I like the strange and changing 
Daytime sights and sounds 
And I like that ev'ning fun 
When everyone's around. 
Let me laugh with you, 
Toss me high and smile; 
Sleep ? what a bore, 
What's the point? What's it for? 
And why so soon? 
When I'm alone and in my room 
And lights are low, 
I want some more of all those things 
That make time go; 
I like the strange and changing 
Daytime sights and sounds 
And I like that ev'ning fun 
When everyone's around. 
Oh la, la, la, etc. 
What a big new world.
