[00:07.40] Early in the morning I first see the sun
[00:09.49] I say a little prayer for the world
[00:12.36] I hope all the little children live a long long time
[00:14.87] Yes, every little boy and little girl
[00:17.96] I hope they learn to laugh at the way
[00:19.68] Some precious old words do seem to change
[00:22.87] Cause that's what life is all about
[00:24.90] To arrange and rearrange and rearrange
[00:28.56] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[00:33.45] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[00:38.46] When I see the first slither of the brand new moon
[00:40.76] I say a little prayer for the world
[00:43.74] I hope all the little children live a long long time
[00:46.17] Yes, every little boy and little girl
[00:48.73] I hope they learn to laugh at the way
[00:50.56] Some precious old words do seem to change
[00:53.46] Cause that's what life is all about
[00:55.94] To arrange and re-arrange and rearrange
[00:59.02] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[01:03.90] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[01:08.68] I heard the first yowl of a brand new baby
[01:11.01] And I said a little prayer for the world
[01:13.75] I hope all the little children live a long long time
[01:16.03] Yes, every little boy and little girl
[01:19.45] I hope they learn to laugh at the way
[01:20.83] Some precious old words do seem to change
[01:23.68] Cause that's what life's all about
[01:26.21] To arrange and rearrange and rearrange
[01:29.11] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[01:34.13] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[01:39.14] Early in the mornin' I'm a-gethering the sap
[01:41.36] And I say a little prayer for the maple
[01:43.87] Like old Mama Quad, on the northwest slope
[01:46.12] I'll protect her 'long as I am able
[01:49.07] She gives more sap year after year
[01:51.53] Than any other single tree
[01:53.88] So bring on the pancakes here's to Mama Quad
[01:56.23] May she live for another century
[01:58.71] Oh-wee, oh-wye, may she live for another century
[02:03.72] Oh-wee, oh-wye, may she live for another century
[02:11.25] Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night
[02:13.60] And rub my achin' old eyes
[02:15.98] Is that a voice from inside my head
[02:18.25] Or does it come down from the skies?
[02:20.81] There's a time to laugh but there's a time to weep
[02:23.37] And a time to make a big change
[02:25.33] Wake-up-you-bum-the-time-has-come
[02:27.05] To rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[02:29.85] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[02:34.94] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[02:41.58] (I have a philosophical type relative)
[02:44.79] (She heard this and said peter I'm not sure I agree with this song)
[02:49.10] (We need a more stable world)
[02:52.36] (I said maybe you're right, I got a new verse)
[02:55.29] Maybe the biggest change will come
[02:57.69] When we don't have to change much at all
[02:59.94] When maniacs holler, "GROW, GROW, GROW, GROW!"
[03:02.71] We can chose to be small
[03:05.11] The key word may be little
[03:07.33] We only have to change a little bit
[03:09.95] So eat a little food, drink a little drink
[03:12.30] And only have to shit little shit (sing it!)
[03:14.88] Oh-wee, oh-wye, and only have to shit a little shit
[03:19.69] Oh-wee, oh-wye, and only have to shit a little shit
[03:25.62] (Kids I didn't hear you singing)
[03:27.73] (I know you have been told 'you'll not say that word in this house')
[03:33.04] (But you're not in that house now)
[03:35.41] (We're trying to save the world)
[03:38.13] (You know it's not the words people say that uhhum problem)
[03:41.92] (It's the bad things people do)
[03:45.00] (And grown-ups are doing most of them, right?)
[03:47.09] (So sing it again!)
[03:48.63] Oh-wee, oh-wye, and only have to shit a little shit
[03:53.28] Oh-wee, oh-wye, and only have to shit a little shit
[03:58.06] Early in the morning I first see the sun
[04:01.17] I say a little prayer for the world
[04:04.75] I hope all the little children live a long long time
[04:07.55] Yes, every little boy and little girl
[04:11.33] I hope they learn to laugh at the way
[04:13.06] Some precious old words do seem to change
[04:17.00] Cause that's what life is all about
[04:20.06] To arrange and rearrange and rearrange
[04:23.48] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[04:28.89] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[04:34.19] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
[04:39.41] Oh-wee, oh-wye, to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
