Our Little World

Stephen Sondheim

Ah
Children are a blessing
Ah
If you know where they are
Ah

Nothing's so distressing, though
As when they keep you guessing
So be sure you don't leave any doors ajar
Make a little world

Our little world

Our little world

Is big enough for me

Perfect

Our little world

Our little world

Is all it needs to be

Perfect

Brushing my hair
Combing my hair
Only my mother
And me and my hair
Our little world

Our little world

Is perfect

If she just didn't drool

Ah

Look at her complexion
Still untouched by the sun
Children need protection
Just the way they need affection
Or they wonder and they wander
And they run from your little world

Our little world

Our little world

Is all I have to see

Perfect

Our little world

Our little world

Is everything a world ought to be

Perfect
Perfect

Washing my hair

Tending her hair

Drying my hair

Stroking her hair

Unraveling my hair

Looking at her hair

Winding and binding
And minding my hair

Something we can share

Hair

Our little world is perfect

Or at least so she claims

Nothing to change her

If she only would cut her nails

Each day like the other

Didn't have those pointy teeth

Nothing to divert her
To disconcert her

Tiny eyes

Nothing that can possibly hurt her

Otherwise

Our little world is perfect

And world enough for me

Our little world

Growing my hair

Braiding her hair

What do I care
What they're doing out there?

If what was growing
Was only her hair
And not her
That I'd prefer
Nevertheless

Our little world

Our little world

Our little world

Is perfect
