Lyrics Is It A Crime - Judy Holliday

Mother and dad handed down to me
A bit of their old philosophy
I've stuck to it like an obidient daughter
But it always lands me in hot water
I'd gladly follow up your suggestions
If you'd give me the answers to these questions
Please tell me is it a crime
To start each day with a laugh, and a smile and a song
And is it a crime to end each day
With a laugh and a smile and a song
Is it wrong is it a crime to call the world your valentine
Is it a crime to grab a lamp post and then sing sweet???????
Is it a crime to save a wee baby bird when it falls it's nest
That little bird should have a chance to fly like all the rest
If it's a crime to help old ladies cross the street
Then put me in jail without bail
Bread and water from an old tin can
If that's if that's a crime
Is it a crime inspector i'm puzzled
We're taught two things as we go through life
One, be thy brothers keeper
And two, mind your own business
With a laugh and a smile and a song
Now if i know something and by telling it to someone in disstress
I could change that persons life and
Bring them the blue bird of happiness
Is it a crime to tell them?
Or is it a crime not to?
It is that you musn't or that you got to?
Should you say hey, watch out for that banana peel bud!
Or just remain silent and then laugh
As he crashes with a thud
Inspector my job is to give people messages on time
If i have a job and i see it through
Then it's just my duty that i do, do, do
Is that, is that
Inspector let's go back a few thousand years
If there had been answering services then
And it had been up to me
I could have changed the course of history
I could have prevented many a famous tragedy
With a laugh and a smile and a song
For every night i lay in bed my cheeks, my cheeks grow soaking wet
When i think of what i could have done
For romeo and juliet
Hello verona phone
Oh yes mister romeo
Juliet capulet called
The message is:
To aviod getting married to other fellow and playing dead
This friar lawrence gave me a great big sleeping
Pill, but when i wake up we'll head for the boarder
Oh, don't thank me! it's all in a days work
See what i could have done
Maybe i'm right maybe i'm wrong
But if i got that message through on time i'm telling you
Those two kids would be alive today
So if it's a crime to help old ladies
Cross the street
Then i'll confess i'm just a mess
Mother and dad you were wrong i guess
Inspector were they wrong
Thank you!!!
