There were three gypsies a-come to my door And downstairs ran this lady, O! One sang high and another sang low And the other sang Bonny-Bonny-Biscay-O!
She climbs a tree and scrapes her knee Her dress has got a tear She waltzes on her way to Mass And whistles on the stair And underneath her wimple She has curlers in her hair I even heard her singing in the abbey
(Rodgers/Hammerstein, "How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?", from "The Sound of Music")

Halfway up the stairs is the stair that I stop

Who was that
who was that
someone left their shoes on the stairs
who was that
who was that
laughing just like no one cares...

and she's buying a stairway to heaven.

I'll build a stairway to paradise
With a new step every day
I'm gonna get there at any price
Step aside, I'm on my way

Down the stairs to have a peep

We'll build a stairway to the stars
A lovely little stairway to the stars

To climb to heaven with you

Then she gave me pears
Then she (??)

Did you ever see an alligator
Riding on an elevator
Down by the bay?!
Pretty women
Fascinating...
Sipping coffee,
Dancing...
Pretty women
Are a wonder.
Pretty women!
Sitting in the window or
Standing on the stair
Something in them cheers the air.

Her dress has got a tear

And whistles on the stair

And when I lift them they climb the stairs
And when I shave them they ain't got hairs

Was a phone number on the stairs
It said thank you for a funky time...

There's an alligator in the elevator, and he's making eyes at me.
-A kid's song on one of my kids cds
well, there's gonna be a party

dancing on the chairs
yeah, there'll be dancing in the parking lots
and up and down the stairs
