Children’s Game Lyrics by Street Scene Ensemble

Street Scene

1949

[CHARLIE]
One, two, three, for superman
Come and catch me if you can
[OTHERS]
If we catch you, you must do
Just whatever we tell you to
[CHARLIE]
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
[OTHERS]
We'll shampoo your head with a brick if you don't
[CHARLIE]
Now you've got me, what'll I do?
[GRACE]
Make out you live on Park Avenue
[OTHERS]
Roses are red and violets are blue
Make out you live on Park Avenue
[CHARLIE, spoken]
Park Avenue, okay
(sung)
My father's name is Rockefeller
He shovels diamonds in a cellar
He's got a hanky made of gold
To blow his nose when he gets a cold
[OTHERS]
Hey! Diddle Dee! Hey! Diddle Derry!
Hey! Barbarebop! Hey! Barbarebop!
Hey! Barbarebop! Your mama's canary!
[JOAN]
One, two, three, for Harold Teen
If you catch me you are mean
[OTHERS]
If we catch you, you must do
Just whatever we tell you to
[JOAN]
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
[OTHERS]
We'll shampoo your head with a rock if you don't
[JOAN]
Now you've got me, what'll I do?
[GRACE]
Give out like a deb on Park Avenue
[OTHERS]
Roses are red and violets are blue
Give out like a deb on Park Avenue
[JOAN]
I am a deb named Gloria Jinx
My hair is bleached, my perfume stinks
I drink champagne with rich old clucks
And get my face in the ads for Lux
[OTHERS]
Hey! Diddle Dee! Hey! Diddle Dash!
Hey! Barbarebop! Hey! Barbarebop!
Hey! Barbarebop! My father's mustache!
