Rags: The New American Musical: Three Sunny Rooms

Lyrics

Have I mentioned that I've raised a daughter?
 I think so
 Then I won't say any more
 Look! How nice we talk together
 Look, such interesting discussions
 Such a sense of give-and-take
 You think?
 I guess
 And since you've got all these problems
 And since I've got all the answers
 What a perfect pair we'd make
 You think?
 I guess
 Well, then
 You see
 These talks, what thoughts they start within you
 Oh, if we could only find a place
 They might continue
 Three sunny rooms facing the street
 Lucky my landlord could spare them
 Three sunny rooms, quiet and neat
 Waiting for someone to share them
 Lace on the chair, quilt on the bed
 Everything lovely but lonely
 That's how it is when you're only one like me
 In my three sunny -
 A man like you, he needs a woman
 You know what I'm saying
 I think so
 Then I won't say any more
 Have you noticed? I have certain features
 I think so
 Then I won't say any more
 But then, anyway
 How could I, with these constant interruptions
 Always people in between
 Am I right?
 I guess
 What I'm saying is -
 Excuse me. For the apple?
 Penny each! Or six for five
 See what I mean?
 Am I right?
 I guess
 Well
 You heard
 You know the space I've got to fill
 Avram
 Not one word you've said
 And now I guess you never will
 Three sunny rooms facing the street
 Only last year they were painted
 One room to sit
 One room to eat
 One to get better acquainted
 Who would believe heaven like this
 For fourteen a month could be rented?
 Who would believe how contented
 Two could be
 In their three sunny rooms?
 Let the others here cast away
 The old ways we love
 Let them all throw the past away
 We will keep it safe within the twelve walls of
 Three sunny rooms
 What could compete?
 Bless my late husband for giving
 Life will be full
 Life will be sweet
 Life will be finally like living
 Goodbye to nights scared and alone
 Goodbye to crowds that could smother
 Goodbye, thank God, to my brother
 Hello to keeping each other
 Company
 In our three
 Sunny rooms
