[LUCY]
I know now that you can't trust a daisy
They blab every chance they get
[SALLY]
I know now it's impossible to rain a violet
[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
I know now that the price of a thought is a penny
[SALLY]
I know now why the kids never sell very many
[SALLY/PEPPERMINT PATTY]
If any
[LUCY]
I know now that you can't bounce a snowball
[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
You can, but not very high
[ALL]
Just think of it, gee, how great it would be
If I can go back somehow
And have my life to live over knowing what I know now
[LUCY]
I know now that you can't ring a bluebell
[SALLY]
Well, not loud enough to hear
[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
I know now that a weeping willow never sheds a tear
[SALLY]
I know now that you can't trade a bike for a brother
[LUCY]
I know now that you can't ever win with your mother
[SALLY/PEPPERMINT PATTY]
Or Father; Further
[ALL]
I know now that you can't pack your troubles in any kit bag that's made
Just think of it, gee, how great it would be
If I can go back somehow
And have my life to live over
[SALLY]
Knowing what I know
[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
Knowing what I know
[LUCY]
Knowing what I know
[ALL]
Now
[LUCY]
I know now that you can't lace a shoefly
[SALLY]
You can't live on bubblegum
[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
I know now that I'll never learn to spell chrysanthemum
[SALLY]
I know now that you can't buy a bike for a dollar
[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
I know now that you can't fit a flea with a collar
(spoken)
Get it, Sally?
[LUCY]
I know now that you can't milk a cowslick
[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
You can but it takes know how
[ALL]
Just think of it, gee, how great it would be
If I can go back somehow
And have my life to live over knowing what I know
Knowing what I know, knowing what I know now
