Dear Marion, as I write this down—

Dear Marion, I just make the bed then I need

To go lie down.

But Baby knows that I love to cry

Over every little thing,

I just sweep the yard and wait

For the whole world to change

…any minute now



From across the room she mouths words

So I can see—

Says, "who's Edgar Bergen?"

And I say, "don't start with me.."

But Baby knows that I love to cry

Over every little thing,

I just sit up on her knee and wait

For the whole world to change

…any minute now



That bird of yours, he just bit me

And all I said was "hello,"

All I did was, I answered him

And sort of shook his foot, you know.

But Baby knows that I love to cry

Over every little thing,

God knows, but even he must me waiting

For the whole world to change

…any minute now

any minute now

any minute now
