I Got a Marble and a Star
[HENRY]
I got a marble and a star
And the star is in my pocket, too
Got a marble and a star
The star is in my pocket, too
If you'll be real good
I'll show that star to you
[MRS. JONES, spoken]
How about that kitchen faucet of mine, Henry?
[HENRY, spoken]
I'll tend to that first thing in the morning, Mrs. Jones.
[MRS. JONES, spoken]
Ah, says you!
[HENRY]
I got a halo and a hat
But my halo I don't wear
Got a halo and a hat
My halo I don't wear
I'm gonna save that halo
Until I get up there
