The Small One
Songtexte englisch

Small one (Bluth)

Small one, small one, don't look so blue
somewhere a friend is waiting for you
someone still needs you to brighten his day
there's a place for each small one, God planned it that way

Time is passing, days are through
give what you can to one smaller than you
all things living, great and small
each brings a gift that is needed by all

Small one, small one, don't look so blue
somewhere a friend is waiting for you
someone still needs you to brighten his day
there's a place for each small one, God planned it that way

A friendly face (Rich)

We'll find a friendly face to be by your side
sharing laughter, sharing tears, just like you and I
we'll find a friendly face who's gentle and true
ever smiling, ever sharing, all is love with you

Somewhere there's a special friend
Somehow we will find him

Then when we say goodbye
he'll be in my place
one who needs you, one who loves you
someone with a friendly face

The merchant's song (Bluth)

Clink, clink, clank, clank, give the money to the bank
telling little stories you can trust
we never ever fail when we go to make a sale
we work a little harder if we must

Small one, small one, small one for sale
one piece of silver, small one for sale
please Sir, would you like to buy my donkey ?

No, no, little boy, I will not buy
that's a sorry bag of bones, I fear
I have buyers by the dozens and their mothers and thier cousins
now take the beast and go away from here

Whoa, clink, clink, clank, clank, give the money to the bank
telling little stories you can trust
we never ever fail when we go to make a sale
we work a little harder if we must

Small one, small one, small one for sale
one piece of silver, small one for sale
excuse me, would you like to buy my donkey ?

No no, boy, I will not buy
what a scrawny, undernourished little beast
you will surely realalize since my wife's a healthy size
I'd better buy a horse at least - a horse ?

Whoa, clink, clink, clank, clank, give the money to the bank
telling little stories you can trust
we never ever fail when we go to make a sale
we work a little harder if we must

Doesn't anybody need a donkey ?

Come come, little boy, take our advice
you will never ever find a buyer here
three blocks straight ahead, three blocks he said
you will find a jolly auctioner
you will find a jolly auctioner

Whoa, clink, clink, clank, clank, give the money to the bank
clink, clink, clank, clank, give the money to the bank
clink, clink, clank, clank, give the money to the bank
clink, clink, clank, clank, give the money to the bank ....

Small one (Reprise) (Bluth)

Small one, small one, don't look so blue
somewhere a friend is waiting for you
someone still needs you to brighten his day
there's a place for each small one, God planned it that way
