歌词
Dudley Pippin is a friend of mine. He's about your age or maybe just a little bit older
One day at Dudley's school the sandtable tipped over
"Dudley Pippin?"
"I didn't do it."
But his teacher didn't believe him
And she made him stay a long time after school
"I don't care.I didn't do it."Dudley was very angry
Finally he was allowed to go home.
On his way,Dudley met the principal
"Hello,Dudley."
He had a long nose and fierce eyes.
"People are saying you tipped over the sandtable at school today."
Dudley just shook his head.
He was too angry to say anything.It just wasn't fair.
"You mean you didn't do it?"Dudley could only nod again.
"Well,we'll have to do something about that first thing tomorrow.
You look like you're about to cry."
"Not me."
"What.That was fine."
"I'm,i'm sorry."
"What for?You did that very well."
"But only sissies cry."
"A sissy is somebody who doesn't cry.Because he is afraid people will call him a sissy if he does cry."
"Well,i'm,i'm,i'm all mixed up."
"Of course you are.Why should you be any different from anybody else?
Most people spend their life trying to get unmixed-up."
Then the principal took a little blue flute out of his pocket.
"See it?Just listen to this nice tune i learned yesterday, it's lovely."
And he began to play.
And the music was sad and joyous
And filled the quiet street and went out over the darkling trees and whole world.
