Firmer Hand/Do Right

Where, where, where you been?
You should've been helping in the kitchen
Where, where, where d'you go?
No daughter of mine ought to worry me so

(ensemble)
You're the black sheep, a little lost lamb

(Daddy Murphy)
Should've raised you with a firmer hand

(ensemble)
Black sheep, a little lost lamb

(Alice)
All you ever do is reprimand

(Mama Murphy)
Shame, shame, shame on you
There ain't no limit to the trouble you brew

(Daddy Murphy)
Shame, shame, shame on me
You make a mockery of the family

(ensemble)
You're the black sheep, a little lost lamb

(Alice)
When you're gonna love me just the way I am?

(Mama Murphy)
I pray that you will change your ways

(Alice)
I don't know why a girl can't have fun around here

(Daddy Murphy)
Why, why, why on earth,
have you been so hard headed since the day o' your birth?

(Mama Murphy)
Why, why, why in the world,
don't you do us all a favour: be a good little girl?

(ensemble)
You're the black sheep, a little lost lamb

(Daddy Murphy)
Should've raised you with a firmer hand

(ensemble)
Black sheep, a little lost lamb

(Mama Murphy)
Always up to your shenanigans

(Daddy Murphy talking)
You gotta start toeing the line

(Alice talking)
That's all I ever do around here is toe the line!

(Alice)
You're always sayin' do right, do right, do right, do right for me
You're always sayin' step in line,
better mind, do or die, do right for me
You're always sayin' do right, do right, do right, do right for me
And what's right for me... is bad for the family

(Daddy Murphy talking)
I swear I'm gonna have to rein you in

(Alice with ensemble)
You're always sayin' do right, do right, do right, do right for me
You're always sayin' step in line,
better mind, do or die, do right for me
And what's right for me... is bad for the family

(Daddy Murphy)
Black sheep

(Mama Murphy)
Little lost lamb

(ensemble)
Should've raised you with a firmer hand

(Daddy Murphy)
Black sheep

(Mama Murphy)
Little lost lamb

(Daddy Murphy)
Should've raised you with the back of my hand
