Good Girl, Winnie Foster
[WINNIE]
I’m trapped in a house so sad and lonely
On a street named Main
But you could call it Only
Is it rude to say I’d volunteer
For a day of fun just once a year
I’d fly the coop, if only I could
But I’ve got a really bad case of being good

I’d go find trouble
If there was some to get in
Ask a friend to play
If I had one to let in
Nana’s rocker’s sawing through the floor
Every day like the one before
We lock ourselves behind that door
Is it wrong to wish for something more?

[Frog croaking]

[WINNIE'S MOTHER]
Winnie why did your dress just croak?

[WINNIE]
Meet my new friend Toad! I found him by the fence
[WINNIE'S MOTHER]
Winnie you know better than that!
Take that filthy thing outside where it belongs

[WINNIE]
Yes mother

[WINNIE, sung]
Good girl Winnie Foster, every day
Is in bed at seven
Good girl Winnie Foster, every day
Is a well behaved eleven
But some days
I wanna raise
A little something more than heaven

Well Toad, we blew it. But at least it got us out of the house

Are you from the wood?
I’m not allowed there
Big news, I know
I’m not allowed anywhere
Now here’s your chance to disappear
Go have fun, I’ll be right here
Tied to a string, like a precious pearl
It's a pretty tight leash for a really good girl[WINNIE][WINNIE'S MOTHER, NANA, ENSEMBLE]Good girl Winnie Foster, every day,Winnie!Is in bed at sevenCome insideGood girl Winnie Foster, every day,Winnie!Is a well behaved elevenCome insideBut some daysWinnie!A little something more than HeavenWinnie!Some days
