TOWNSPEOPLE: Strong and Sure is the dream of Atlanta Where Her Brothers are unified! LEO: Twenty-eight bottles of caps At four dollars the gross This is wrong, this is wrong I can fix this, wait Nine more boxes in back Twenty-eight minus nine, And then thirty-one girls on the line.. LUCILLE: Suit and a Tie... Terribly quiet... Quite a well-paid position "Go on Lucille Bring him his coffee.." LEO: Times six, one eighty-six Divide... seven sixty God, all the noise, and on "Yontiff" yet... Four cents a girl for the week At ten cents an hour LUCILLE: Straight from New York, Lucille! Isn't he smart, Lucille! Mama, he's comin' around today Mama, he's at the door! Mama, I don't know what I should say "Well what are you waitin' for Lucille?" What am I waiting for? LEO: This is wrong, this is wrong, it's an eight, not a six LUCILLE: House and a maid Two sets of china Everything I ws wishin' New winter coat Real ermine collar Who would have known Lucille? Married so well Lucille? How can he want me, so plain, so prim? How can he be so sure? Don't I wish I could be sure like him? Like Leo? LEO: Yes Lucille, I am building a life for us LUCILLE: For Leo? LEO: No Lucille, we cannot have a picnic LUCILLE: Didn't my wishes come true for me The day he walked throught the door? Isn't he all that I knew he'd be? Brilliant and filled with humility? Loyal and stable as any tree? So why do I wait for more? What am I waiting for? LEO: Twenty-tree cartons of leads At two-sixty the gross This is wrong, this is wrong I can fix this... MARY: Hey LEO:Yes? MARY: I came for my pay. LEO: Name? MARY: Mary Phagan Back to main page: Parade Lyrics
