" I once had a kitty and the kitty had me. We were oh so happy, that cute kitty and me. Then I found to my dismay, the cat, it had fleas. They were oh so itchy and I wanted to scream. Little did I know then that the fleas they had fleas The big fleas did itch and they wanted to sneeze. I wondered how I might control all of these. And I still had my kitty that I wanted to please. I wanted to use flea bath and ignore the wee fleas. But I thought that might be mean, so I kept all the fleas. The wee fleas were not real fleas they were bacteria Yet they still itched the poor things on their backs and their knees. I thought of a solution, though it took me all day. I would start a flea circus and join in the fray The big fleas were easy, while the little fleas lay exhausted from jumping, asleep on the hay. } \bookpart{ \tocItem \songTitle \header { title = \songTitle poet = \songPoet %dedication = \songDedication %translator = \songTranslator composer = \tuneComposer arranger = \tuneArranger source = \tuneSource copyright = \albumCopyright tagline = \albumTagline } \score { << \new ChoirStaff << \new Staff = women << \new Voice = "sopranos" { \voiceOne << \global \sopMusic >> } %\new Voice = "altos" { \voiceTwo << \global \altoMusic >> } >> \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranos" \origLyrics \new Lyrics \lyricsto "sopranos" \lyricsA %\new Staff = men << %\clef bass %\new Voice = "tenors" { \voiceOne << \global \tenorMusic >> } %\new Voice = "basses" { \voiceTwo << \global \bassMusic >> } %>> >> % \new PianoStaff << \new Staff { \new Voice { \pianoRH } } \new Staff { \clef "bass" \pianoLH } >> >> \layout { } \midi { \set Staff.midiInstrument = "flute" \context { \Staff \remove "Staff_performer" } \context { \Voice \consists "Staff_performer" } } } }
