Текст песни Don't Laugh - Stephen Sondheim

Show me a glass of water
I′ll show you a soggy dress
Show me a tube of toothpaste
I'll show you a mess
Show me a fresh laid side walk
And guess where my foot prints are
Show me a fire hydrant
I′ll show you my car
Show me the latest dance step
I'll show you the latest fall
Show me the train to Boston
I'll show you St. Paul
Show me a hundred lighters
I′ll show you the one that won′t
Show me a priceless vase
No don't!
Maybe it′s my name
Maybe it's my face
Maybe it′s my both
All I know is
Show me a cancelled party
I'll show you the only guest
Show me an open manhole
And I′ll do the rest
Show me a broken window
I'll show you a bat and ball
Show me the boat to Europe
I'll show you St. Paul
Ask me to give directions
I′ll give you a vacant lot
Show me a knot that′s tangled
I'll show you a tangled knot
Show me a nest of hornets
Maybe it′s my name
Maybe it's my face
Maybe it′s my both
Maybe I can do
Don't laugh
Good
Maybe I can do
Don′t laugh
Well
Maybe you could be
Who knows proud
Alright, so laugh
But not too loud
If I can convince
Don't laugh
Me
Why can't I convince
Don′t leave
You
Give me half a chance
Just half
And then
Don′t laugh
Maybe I could be proud of me too
If I can convince
Don't laugh
Me
Why can′t I convince
Don't leave
You
Give me half a chance
Just half
And then
Don′t laugh
Maybe I could be proud of me too
Show me a barren hillside
I'll should you a field of grass
Show me an empty schoolroom
I′ll show you a class
Show me a epidemic
I'll show you a board of health
Show me a starting people
Show me an insurrection
Show me a restless native
Show me the way they get there
Show me what's on your clipboard
Sally is gonna do
Don′t laugh
Good
Sally is gonna do
Don′t laugh
Well
Everything is gonna be
You'll watch
Fine
You hear a laugh
That laugh is mine
Everything will be done
I hope
Right
Everything will be right
Don′t ask
How
Look at it all fall
Into place
Maybe it's my name
Maybe it′s my face
Show me a job to do
And I'll show you now
