# Grow up to be straight and tall

0:09:590:10:03

# In this poor imitation of life

0:10:030:10:07

# Oh, it's no good at all

0:10:360:10:40

# Watching Stars On Sunday

0:10:410:10:45

# Sing hallelujah for the old folks

0:11:010:11:05

# Singing the songs that they used to sing

0:11:090:11:14

# But where is the sense in that?

0:11:140:11:16

# The chicken has flown the basket

0:11:180:11:21

# And is now cooped up indoors

0:11:210:11:24

# Someone is crying deep in the night

0:11:260:11:30
