CATHERINE
When I first saw Pippin he was lying in the road like a discarded rag I would have passed him by
(Sings)

PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE PASSED HIM BY
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT HIS FOOT
YES IT WAS THE ARCH OF HIS FOOT
THAT CAUGHT MY EYE

(Spoken)

What I did was merely an act of Christian charity After all, I had no idea that this discarded rag would clean up so well

THERE HE WAS
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHERE HE WAS
AND HE LOOKED SO LOST AND EXHAUSTED
YOU'D ALMOST SWEAR HE WAS DEAD
SO I SAID:
PICK HIM UP, PUT HIM TO BED
SEE THAT HE'S BATHED AND CLOTHED AND FED
AS I SAID, HOW COULD I FORTELL
THAT HE'D CLEAN UP, OH, SO VERY WELL
IMAGINE MY SURPRISE
WHEN I RAISED MY EYES
AND THERE HE WAS
