Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow

We’re currently holding auditions

For the part of the kid in the show.

There are more or less standard renditions

Of Oliver, Winthrop, (you know).

But too many tots sing “Tomorrow.”

It’s catchy, its peppy, its loud!

Again and again it’s “Tomorrow,”

Until they blend into the crowd

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya,

You’re not (as it happens) today,

And I wish by the heavens above ya,

I could find an excuse not to stay!
