 SCENERY

words by Tom Lehrer music by James van Heusen tune: "Harmony" (from - 1947) written for and used in shows at Camp Androscoggin

(Enter in front of curtain)

If it is not exactly clear Why I'm here, You may think it's part of the plot, But it's not. This song I bring Is just a silly thing, Which I will only sing, You see, To give them time to change the scenery.


 * Scenery, scenery,
 * The only reason that there is for this here song
 * Is to help the guys along.

If you should ask me why this song Is so long, All I can say is just that I'm Killing time. As you must know, I didn't write this show, And so you mustn't go Blaming me. I'm here to let them change the scenery.


 * Scenery, scenery,
 * And if you think this song is silly as can be,
 * I admit that I agree.
