Encouragement

---

Stopped at a house,
Asked, with a grin,
If no one's out,
Won't you please let me in?
Housekeeper said,
Ask, if you will,
They've all gone over the mocking-bird hill.
Look over meadows of ice cream, near strawberry fields.
Ask the inn-keeper to see if the joke is for real.

Go down the street,
Don't make a din.
If no one's out,
Maybe they'll let you in.
Housekeeper said,
Ask if you dare,
They've all gone out and they haven't a care.
Walk up the road to the highway, near Waterloo stream.
Ask for directions and promise you won't make a scene.

Stop at a house,
Ask, with a grin
If no one's out,
Maybe they'll let you in.

Housekeeper said
Ask if you dare,
If no one's out, then you haven't a care.
Sometimes a candle of silver's a handle for gold.
Use it to lighten the way, should the weather turn cold.

Stopped at a house,
Asked, with a grin.
If no one's out,
Won't you please let me in?
Housekeeper said
Ask if you dare,
They've all gone out on a wing and a prayer.
