Musicals - Whistle Down The Wind - I Never Get What I Pray For Lyrics
[Swallow]I wanna be baptised and I wanna be savedI wanna see my saviour face to faceI wanna feel the rapture, feel the fireI wanna be taken someplace higherBut I never get taken to someplace higher[Brat]Swallow![Swallow]Well I don't!I never get what I pray forI can pray for less or a whole lot more[Swallow, Poor Baby & Brat]It don't ever matter, it's a sure betThat I never get what I pray for[Swallow]An end to the horrors of the atom bomb[Brat]And a dance with Ricky Nelson at the homecoming promI wanna be beautiful, sexy and smart[Poor Baby]I wanna sister that don't hiccup[Brat]I want a brother that don't fart[Poor Baby]I wanna move like Elvis in every way[Brat]I wanna look like Sandra Dee or maybe Doris Day[Swallow]They should send us down some angelsWe could never have enough[Brat]They should send us down some money[Swallow, Poor Baby & Brat]So we can buy each other stuff.I never get what I pray forI can pray for less or a whole lot moreIt don't ever matter, it's a sure betThat I never get what I pray for[Brat]We should all be praying for dadIt's scary how he's been[Poor Baby]He was crying in the trailer[Brat]No way I was going in[Poor Baby]I want a football[Brat]And some Lipstick[Poor Baby]And some Liquorice[Brat]And a kite[Swallow]And I just want our mother back, If only for one nightThere are things she's gotta tell meThere are things she's gotta knowGod had no right to take her, She had no right to goThere are things I didn't tell herAnd so much I had to saySo I just want my mother backIf only for one day
