Without Us




What would you do without us?

No worries, no chores & no fuss

You'd spend the day feeling so glum

You'd waste away; life would be hum-drum

With no one to keep in line



Excuse me, but that would be fine



What would she do without me?

(And me)

We give her a reason to be

The comb I lose, she helps me find

When I can't choose, she makes up my mind

Without us to keep in line...



Excuse me, I'd like to decline

I'd spend the day embroidering flowers...



She'd be so bored that she'd fall asleep



I'd read a book and go dancing for hours...



She'd pass the time counting sheep

Without us to keep in line

What would she do without

What would we do without

What would you do without-



The question is...

What would you do without me?

With no one to bring you your tea

What would you eat?

What would you wear?

Where would you go?

You'd never get there

You need me to keep you in line



Excuse us, but that would be fine



To comb my hair...



To bring me my ale...



To dust my chair...



And straighten my veil...



To hook my dress...



To find who knows what



I must confess, I'd rather not



Without us to keep in line

With nobody's life to design



Then, my life would be mine



What would she do without

What would we do without

What would you do without

Me?

Him?

Her?

Them?

Us?

Without us?
