Fi-Fi in Bed

Topics: classic

Up into the sky I stare;      All the little stars I see;      And I know that God is there      O, how lonely He must be!              Me, I laugh and leap all day,              Till my head begins to nod;              He's so great, He cannot play:              I am glad I am not God.                      Poor kind God upon His throne,                      Up there in the sky so blue,                      Always, always all alone . . .                      "Please, dear God, I pity You."
