Prattle 1 / Narrator 5 lyrics
by Karen Olivo
[MICHAEL & SARA]
Morning sun, our girl is one
Happy birthday, Frankie!
Clap your hands
That cow says "Moo!"
Wake up sweetie, sleepyhead
Birthday two, no more crib
We're in trouble now
Now she's three, she's four, she's five
She put her cookie in the CD drive
She's a genius, she's a terror, she's a beauty...
She's ours
Francesca Jane "Frankie" McRae
[MICHAEL]
She'll be in college any day
[SARA]
Next year, P.S. 83
[MICHAEL]
No, private. Dalton, Trinity
School is everything
[SARA]
The tuition's 40 grand
[MICHAEL]
You don't understand
You will never understand
Tuition, loans and savings, 401K
Her 529-
[MICHAEL, SARA]
And our IRA
Slow down
You don't understand education
I have a moral obligation
Listen
Loans and savings, 401K
Please hear me
Her 529 and our IRA
Loans and savings, 401K
Please hear me
Her 529 and our IRA
[SARA]
Please hear me!
[NARRATOR]
Club or diamond, spade or heart
In life's game, we all take part
Time shuffles and you play your card
Losing's easy. Winning's hard
