Arrange and Rearrange - Pete Seeger

Early in the mornin' I first see the sun

I say a little prayer for the world

I hope all the children live a long long time

Yes every little boy and little girl

I hope they learn to laugh at the way

Some wicked old words do seem to change

'Cause that's what life's all about to arrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

I heard the first yowl of a brand new baby

And I said a little prayer for the world

I hope all the children live a long long time

Yes every little boy and little girl

I hope they learn to laugh at the way

Some precious old words do seem to change

'Cause that's what life's all about to arrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

I heard the first yowl of a brand new baby

And I said a little prayer for the world

I hope all the children live a long long time

Yes every little boy and little girl

I hope they learn to laugh at the way

Some precious old words do seem to change

'Cause that's what life's all about to arrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

Early in the morning I'm a gathering the sap

And I say a little prayer for the maple

Like big mama quad on the northwest slope

I'll protect her as long as I'm able

She gives more sap year after year

Than any single other tree

So bring on the pancakes here's to mama quad

May she live for another century

Oh wee oh wye may she live for another century

Oh wee oh wye may she live for another century

Sometimes I wake in the middle of the night

And rub my achin' old eyes

Is that a voice from inside my head

Or does it come down from the sky

There's a time to laugh but there's a time to weep

And a time to make a big change

Wake up you bum the time has come to arrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

Perhaps the biggest change will come

When we don't have to change much at all

When maniacs holler grow grow grow

We can choose to be small

The key word may be little

We only have to change a little bit

Eat a little food drink a little drink

And only have to sh*t a little sh*t

Oh wee oh wye and only have to sh*t a little sh*t

Oh wee oh wye and only have to sh*t a little sh*t

Oh wee oh wye and only have to sh*t a little sh*t

Oh wee oh wye and only have to sh*t a little sh*t

Early in the morning I first see the sun

I say a little prayer for the world

I hope all the children live a long long time

Yes every little boy and little girl

I hope they learn to laugh at the way

Some wicked old words do seem to change

'Cause that's what life's all about to arrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange

Oh wee oh wye to rearrange and rearrange and rearrange
