Oh if life were made of moments
Even now and then a bad one--!
But if life were only moments,
Then you'd never know you had one.

Automobile in America,
Chromium steel in America,
Wire-spoke wheel in America,
Very big deal in America!

Immigrant goes to America,
Many hellos in America,
Nobody knows in America,
Puerto Rico's in America!

I like the shores of America!
Comfort is yours in America!
Knobs on the doors in America!
Wall-to-wall floors in America!

Music blows lyrics up very quickly, and suddenly they become more than art. They become pompous and they become self-conscious ... I firmly believe that lyrics have to breathe and give the audience's ear a chance to understand what's going on. Particularly in the theater, where you not only have the music, but you've got costume, story, acting, orchestra. There's a lot to take in.

One difference between poetry and lyrics is that lyrics sort of fade into the background. They fade on the page and live on the stage when set to music.

Music straightjackets a poem and prevents it from breathing on its own, whereas it liberates a lyric. Poetry doesn't need music; lyrics do.
