Pomes in a Pail: Music
11. LONG AS WE’RE ASLEEP
(Jenny/Snow. Singers: Dana Roesner & Jonah Zimmermann)
Frightful!
Sammie doesn’t like the circus
(She is frightened of the clown)
Bennie’s never used the bathtub
(’Cuz he thinks he might just drown)
Freddie’s rightly ’fraid of fire
(And he’s not too fond of smoke)
Carrie doesn’t care for eating
(’Cuz she thinks she might just choke)
Noah’s nervous in high places
(Which is why his feet go bare)
Peter panics in tight spaces
(Which is why no underwear)
Frankie has no fear of flying
(It’s the crashing she abhors)
I’m in terror of that boogyman
Behind my closet door
And ’quakes and lakes and snakes and
Every uggy bug that creeps,
Yes, our life’s a bowl of cherries —
As long as we’re asleep!
