Amelia Bedelia song

Song: Amelia Bedelia
Music, Lyrics & Voice: AI

[Verse1]
Amelia Bedelia, maid so true,
Took every word to heart, it's true.
"Dust the furniture," the list did say,
She added dust, in her own way.
[Chorus]
So if you meet Amelia, with orders to impart,
Be clear and simple, right from the start.
For in her world, words are what they seem,
And life's a literal, comical scheme.
[Verse2]
"Draw the drapes," a simple plea,
She sketched them out, for all to see.
With flour and butter, she'd bake a pie,
The best you'd taste, beneath the sky.
[Chorus]
So if you meet Amelia, with orders to impart,
Be clear and simple, right from the start.
For in her world, words are what they seem,
And life's a literal, comical scheme.
[Verse3]
She'd "dress the chicken," with ribbons and bows,
Never guessing how a chicken grows.
She'd "put the lights out," and in the yard they'd gleam,
Literal interpretations, a delightful dream.
[Chorus]
So if you meet Amelia, with orders to impart,
Be clear and simple, right from the start.
For in her world, words are what they seem,
And life's a literal, comical scheme.
[Bridge]
Why must Amelia Bedelia be,
Take everything so literally?
So if you meet Amelia, with orders to impart,
Be clear and simple, right from the start.
For in her world, words are what they seem,
And life's a literal, comical scheme.
