[Verse 1]

Erika:
             
If I'd like to

           
 have my break

     
fast hot
             
Madame Carp wi

           
ll make me pay

,
             
And I have to 

           
fetch the eggs

   
 myself
             
And the barn's

          
 a mile away.
     
It's cold and 

wet
             
But still I ge

            
t an omelette 

      
on my plate,
            
But in my head

           
 I'm back in b

Snuggled up an

Anneliese:
Really?
Erika:
Really. But it's all right. I mean, I'm used to it.
And you?
Anneliese:
Well...
Erika:
Well?


[Verse 2]

Anneliese:
             
If I want some

           
 eggs I ring t

And the maid c

And she serves

           
 them on a sil

                   
ver tray
             
And she brings

And while I ea

 feet
            
And strolling

,
             
But I'd rather

Anneliese:

Erika:

But now I've m

Anneliese:

   
So, you're a singer?
Erika:
No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary.
Uh, I mean, Dress Emporium.
Anneliese:
I love Madame Carp's dresses!
Erika:
I made the one you're wearing.
Anneliese:
You made this? The design looks so complicated!
Erika:
Oh, it isn't really.


[Verse]

Erika:
             
First I choose

           
 a fabric from

                   
 the rack
             
And I pin the 

       
pattern down,
             
And I stitch i

           
t in the front

                   
 and back
             
And it turns i

      
nto a gown!
Anneliese:

I wear my gown

Without my cro

wn
            
And dance arou

      
nd my room
Both
            
And imagine li

            
fe without the

                   
 strife
            
Of an unfamili

     
ar groom.

But I'd never let my mother know.
I wouldn't want to disappoint her.
