busy little sewing bee
where’s your fella, poor penelope?

it’s ten years since he went away
i’ll bet he’s dead and under clay
if not, where is he?
busy little sewing bee

[penelope]
somehow i keep believing
that he’ll return one day
into this quilt i’m weaving
our life that went astray

this bit of faded cotton
is from his working shirt
and i’d almost forgotten
this silk from my sunday skirt

here’s a scr-p of ribbon
i borrowed on the day we wed
here’s a square of linеn
from our marriage bed
[women]
wherе’s ulysses?
lord almighty, where is he?
what’s ulysses?
nothing but a memory

ten years back, he left board and bed
and legally you’re free to wed
don’t act so dizzy
busy little sewing bee

[helen]
it’s a lazy afternoon
why do you sit there a-stitching
when you’re free to be bewitching
all those eager beaux who’re itching
to woo
lucky you?

[menelaus]
it’s a lazy afternoon
why sit here and ply your needle
as your boyfriends beg and wheedle?
is it wise to let them tweedle
their thumbs
’til he comes?

busy little sewing bee
choose a fella, sweet penelope

[penelope]
i vowed i would not choose before
i finished up my sewing chore

[women]
we’re in a tizzy
busy little sewing bee

[men]
penelope, say which-a-way
you’ll give your love and beauty
don’t just sit there and stitch away
and blame it all on duty

[girls]
while you wait for your gadabout
that no-good, faithless cuss
you’ve cornered every lad about
there’s no one left for us
[penelope]
this quilt of mine displays his love
a love of shining beauty

[mother hare]
he’s pushing up the daisies, love
so let him go to blazes, love
and don’t be so darn snooty
so pick another cutie

[men]
penelope, you’re frivolous
we have no time to lose
the next ten years may shrivel us
the time has come to choose

[penelope]
eeny, meeny, miney, mo
which-a-way will my heart go?
the parson, banker carson
the smith or farmer joe?

[figurehead]
row boy, row
row up the river
all aboard, all aboard
that are coming with me

[ulysses & figurehead]
which-a-way, which-a-way
does that old red river run?
from rhododendron
to the setting sun
from rhododendron
to the setting sun

[helen]
he leaves you flat
then has the gall
to show his face back here
penelope
don’t let him stall
be tough on him, dear
he drinks and gambles
and rambles
then back to home he ambles
throw him right out on his ear

[women]
uh huh
throw him right out on his ear
