The teacher said it's time to think about the annual play
|
To be put on next month and sponsored by the PTA
|
Most of you have seen the script and now the question is
|
Who would like to play the part of honey
|
The part calls for a lady who was beauty wit and charm
|
Who falls in love with Jerry Walsh of Merry Meadow Farm
|
In the end they marry and go off to see the world
|
Now who would like to play the part of honey
|

|
The hand of Sally Jordon slowly raised into the air
|
Other members of the class all turned around to stare
|
For Sally Jordon was a poor girl it was plain to see
|
She could never play the part of honey
|
The teacher just pretended that she didn't see a hand
|
Instead she picked the daughter of a very wealthy man
|
Poor and pretty Sally sat there holdin' back her tears
|
She wanted so to play the part of honey
|

|
The play went off without her and as graduation came
|
Sally Jordon went away and they forgot her name
|
But Sally Jordon never did forget the high school play
|
She didn't get to play the part of honey
|
One day there was news about a movie in the town
|
People came to see it for a hundred miles around
|
For there was someone in it that the population knew
|
Sally Jordon played the part of honey
|
Perhaps the moral of the story's neighter here nor there
|
For beauty is as beauty does and wit and charm are airs
|
When all has been considered it's difficult to tell
|
Just who it is that fits the part of honey
|
