Connie Converse - I Have Considered the Lilies

Kishore Kumar Hits — Connie Converse - I Have Considered the Lilies lyrics

Artist: Connie Converse

album: How Sad, How Lovely

I have considered the lilies
They never toil, they only bloom
They never feel chilly
Or tired or silly
And they don't need much room
I have considered the lilies
I have considered how they grow
Tell me, tell me how to be a lily If you know
0-o-oh, lilies
Toil not neither do they spin
I'm gonna take my working papers
And turn them in
I'm handing over my pencil and pen
I won't be needing my broom again
I'11 bloom by day
I'll bloom by night
And blooming will be my delight!
Bright tiger lilies
Still water lilies
See how they all dilly-dally!
Look at the day lily
Lemon lily
Cala lily
Or the lovely little lilies of the valley!
0-o-oh, lilies
Toil not, neither do they spin
I'm gonna take my working papers
And turn them in
To be more splendid than Solomon
I'll walk around wearing the morning sun
The sun by day
The moon by night
And blooming would be my delight!
It would be fun
But I'm afraid
That I would freeze
King Solomon
Was not arrayed
Like one of these
So-o-o-o, lilies
I can't afford to dilly-dally!
I've got to work for my cotton
Work for my linen
Linen and damask and challis
Not like the day lily
Lemon lily
Cala lily
Or the lovely little lilies of the valley
I have considered the lilies
I have considered how they grow
Tell me, tell me how to be a lily
If you know
