Act I: Our Little World

Ah
Ah

Children are a blessing (ah)
If you know where they are (ah)
Nothing so distressing, though
As when they keep you guessing
So be sure you don't leave any doors ajar

Make a little world (Our little world)
(Is big enough for me)
Perfect
(Our little world) Our little world
(Is all it needs to be)
Perfect

Brushing my hair
Combing my hair
Only my mother
And me and my hair
Our little world (Our little world)
Is perfect
If she just wouldn't drool

Look at that complexion (ah)
Still untouched by the sun (ah)
Children need protection
Just the way they need affection
Or they wonder and they wander and they run
From your little world

Our little world (Our little world)
Is all I have to see
(Perfect)
Our little world (Our little world)
Is everything a world oughta be
(Perfect, perfect)

Washing my hair
(Tending her hair)
Drying my hair (Stroking her hair)
Unraveling my hair (Looking at her hair)
Winding and binding
And minding my (Something we can share)
Hair

What do I care what they're doing out there?

If what was growing was only her hair
And not her
That I'd prefer
But our little world is perfect
Delicious
Fulfilling
Exclusive
Unchanging
Exemplary
Perfect
