Joseph Taylor, Jr./I Know It Can Happen Again
[ENSEMBLE]
The lady in bed
Is Marjorie Taylor
Dr. Joseph Taylor's wife

[SOLO SOPRANO]
Except for the day when she married Joe
This is the happiest day of her life

[ENSEMBLE]
Except for the day when she married Joe
This is the happiest day of her life

[MEN]
His hair is fuzzy
His eyes are blue
His eyes may change
They often do
He weighs eight pounds and an ounce or two
Joseph Taylor, Jr

[WOMEN]
When he wakes up, hе wants to eat
And when he sleeps, hе wets his seat
But you'd forgive anyone as sweet
As Joseph Taylor, Jr
[GRANDMA]
Starting out so foolishly small
It's hard to believe you will grow at all
It's hard to believe
That things like you
Can ever turn out to be men

But I've seen it happen before
So I know it can happen again

Food and sleep, and plenty of soap
Molasses and sulfur, and love and hope
The winters go by, the summers fly
And, all of a sudden, you're men

But I've seen it happen before
And I know it can happen again

And I know it can happen again
