Intro: Little Gray House lyrics
by Kurt Weill
[ALEX, spoken]
Uncle Stephen?
[STEPHEN, spoken]
Yes, Alex.
[ALEX, spoken]
The room is very small here and not clean.
[STEPHEN, spoken]
Yes, it's the best they had.
[ALEX, spoken]
What will our house be like?
[STEPHEN, spoken]
It's a little gray house.
[ALEX, spoken]
We\ill there be grass in front of it?
[STEPHEN, spoken]
Yes, and flowers growing in the grass. And there is a tree that my son liked to climb. He built himself a place to sleep in it, like a nest. You will climb that tree.
[ALEX, spoken]
Is the nest still there?
[STEPHEN, spoken]
Yes, it's there.
[ALEX, spoken]
I see. I'm thinking about it.
