Oh! What A Terrible Morning

An unwelcome note of reality introduced into a song from a musical.

Let’s skip to the terrible ending,

A very sad place I know,

When you chance to advance then it’s back you go,

When you trip you will slip with a ti-la-so,

Ti-la-so, ti-la-so,

The backward slide is a contra-flow,

Ti-la-so, ti-la-so,

Ti-la-so-fa-me-re-do! It goes like so:

Chorus: Tee, the game I lost at golf,

La, la dolce vita gone,

Sow, the seeds I scattered once,

Dough, the sticky mess I’m in

As I sink back down to ti (she-me-he) Chorus:
