I have a message for you a very sad message

My subject for this evening will be Little Bo Peep

It says here Little Bo Peep who was a little girl

Has lost her sheep

And doesn't know where to find them

Now that's reasonable isn't it

It's it's reasonable to assume if Little Bo Peep had lost her sheep

It's only natural that she wouldn't know where to find them

That that basically is reasonabl l le but uh leave them alone

Now that overwhelms me Completely overwhelms me

The man said she lost her sheep turns right around and boldly states

She doesn't know where to find them

And then has the stupid audacity to say leave them alone

Now Now now think for a moment Think

If the sheep were lost and you couldn't find them

You'd have to leave them alone wouldn't you

So leave them alone leave them alone

It's in the book

Leave them alone and they they being the sheep they will come

Home

Ah yes they'll come home

Oh there'll be a brighter day tomorrow they will come home

It's in the book

They will come home A waggin' their tailsbr Good for everything in the home
