Inside
Songs » P » Peter, Paul & Mary » Inside
Lets say youre at a pie contest, lets say that youre the judge
And theres lemon, lime and watermelon rind,
And one that looks like fudge
You cant tell which pie you like the best
If you only eat the crust
In order to complete the test a bite of filling is a must
(a bite of filling is a must)
Chorus:
Inside, inside, thats the most important part
Inside, inside, thats the place youve got to start
Inside, inside, thats where youll find the heart of the matter
Lets say youre at a birthday party
And lets say youve just turned eight
And there are presents everywhere and all of them look great
You cant tell which ones your favorite
By just looking at the bow
To pick one out from all the rest unwrap each present,
Then youll know
(unwrap each present then youll know)
Chorus
Children are the very best, each one a joy and pride
Just how we know, I bet you guessed:
We took the time to look...
(inside!)
Chorus
Lets say youre at a library
And theres stacks and stack of books
Theres even stacks on top of stacks everywhere you look
There are stories about mystery and sports and famous lovers
To pick one out from all the rest
Youve got to open up the covers
(youve got to open up the covers!)
Chorus
