L-Y
Composer(s): Tom Lehrer

You're wearing your squeaky shoes
And right there taking a snooze
Is a tiger! So how do you walk on by?

Silently, silently, silent, L-Y

You're a Secret Agent Man
Who's after The Secret Plan
How do you act so they don't know you're a spy?

Normally, normally, normal, L-Y

At an eating contest you boast
That you can eat the most!
How do you down your 50th piece of pie?

Eagerly (ughh!), eagerly (yecch!), eager, L-Y

On the lake your boat upset
And your clothes got soaking wet
How do you stand and wait for them to dry?

D-d-d-d-d-d-patiently, D-d-d-d-d-d-patiently, d-d-d-d-d-d-patient, L-Y

In the public library
You fall and hurt your knee
But the sign says "Quiet, Please" so how can you cry?

Quietly, quietly, quiet, L-Y

As you walk along the street
A porcupine you meet!
How do you shake his hand when he says "Hi!"?

Carefully, carefully, careful, L-Y

You enter a very dark room
And sitting there in the gloom
Is Dracula! Now how do you say goodbye?!
Immediately, immediately, immediate, L-Y!
Bye-bye!
