Orphan In the Storm Lyrics by Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt

Celebration (Original Broadway Cast)

1969

[Orphan]
Nose cold
Toes froze
I don't know where this road goes
Way off, somewhere
I see light
If I don't freeze
I guess I'll be alright
I could light a fire
If I had a match
I could patch my pants
If I had a patch
I could hurry home
But there's just one catch
I'm an orphan in the storm
I could bake some beans
If I had a pot
I could heat some tea
If the pot was hot
I could buy a pie
But I just forgot
I'm an orphan in the storm
Hey, Mister Sun hiding in the sky
Won't you hurry back in sight?
I need some sunshine
I'll tell you why
Don't know where I'll sleep tonight
I could catch a bus
If I had the fare
I could catch a cold
If I don't take care
I could catch my death
But I won't despair
For somewhere it's safe and warm
Hey, Mister Somebody in the sky
Won't you guide me through the storm
[Ensemble, chattering sinisterly]
Happy New Year!
Psst
Hey
Wow
Happy New Year, sugar
Boy
Hey
Wow
Hey, Mister Somebody in the sky
Better hurry, hurry, hurry down
And save your little orphan boy
Bring him some sunshine
We'll show you why
'Cause we're gonna pick his little pocket
And maybe take his little overcoat
Steal his pretty little muffler
And mess around with his virginity
Catch him and rob him and
Teach him a lesson so
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, little orphan boy
[Orphan]
I could catch a bus
If I had the fare
I could catch a cold
If I don't take care
I could catch my death
But I won't despair
For somewhere it's safe and warm
Hey, Mister Somebody in the sky
Won't you guide me through?
Do what you can do
For this orphan in the storm
