Kids Praise! 4
CHARITY’S DREAM

RISKY:
Well, hello, Charity,
Yes, hello, hello indeed.
I’ve heard about you, Charity Churchmouse,
Yes, indeed.
Your fame has preceded you.
I’m Risky Rat from Mouse-TRAP Records

CHARITY:
Did you say Mouse-TRAP?

RISKY:
No, no, my dear, Mouse-TAIL,
That’s Mouse-TAIL. Read my lips!
We’d like to offer you a lifetime con-TRAP.

CHARITY:
Did you say con-TRAP?

RISKY:
No, no, my dear, con-TRACT, my dear, con-TRACT.
Read my lips!
Just take this pen, my sweet,
And sign on the doted line

CHARITY:
Why thank you, I’m flattered.
I’ll sign my name right now.

CHURCHMOUSE CHOIR:
No, no, don’t do it, Charity!
No, no, don’t do it, Charity!
God has a better way.
Take the time to pray.


RISKY:
Don’t listen to them, Charity!
Who are they, after all?
Just take this pen, Charity,
And we’ll get on the ball.
Just sign this con-TRAP.

CHARITY:
Did you say con-TRAP?

RISKY:
No, con-TRACT, my dear, con-TRACT.
Read my lips!
Just take this pen, my dear,
And sign on the doted line

CHURCHMOUSE CHOIR:
No, no, don’t do it, Charity!
No, no, don’t do it, Charity!
We’re the missing notes.
You’re about to miss the boat!

RISKY:
Would you ignore them, Charity.
Won’t you hurry up and sign.
Take this pen, Charity,
And I will call you mine.
You’ll be my SLAVE!

CHARITY:
Did you say SLAVE?

RISKY:
No, I said STAR, my dear, that’s STAR!
Read my lips!

CHARITY:
I really can’t resist.
I’ll sign my name, Charity Churchmouse.
