[00:00.00]The Oldest Orphan in the John Grier Home - Megan McGinnis
[00:11.15]A perfectly awful day
[00:12.79]The first Monday of every month
[00:14.96]Every floor scrubbed
[00:16.99]Every chair dusted
[00:19.21]A perfectly awful day
[00:20.76]Every bed without a wrinkle
[00:23.08]Every hair combed on 97 orphans
[00:27.45]Poor Jerusha Abbot
[00:31.21]Has to Bare the brunt of it all
[00:35.34]Poor Jerusha Abbot
[00:39.16]The oldest orphan in the John grier home
[00:46.28]A perfectly awful day
[00:47.78]The trustees come to visit
[00:49.91]Taking tea breaks
[00:51.77]Having reports written
[00:54.10]They hurry away in the night
[00:56.12]For houses in the city
[00:58.22]And I watch them
[01:00.12]With 97 orphans
[01:02.44]Poor Jerusha Abbot
[01:06.35]Never to break free from this place
[01:10.38]Poor Jerusha Abbot
[01:14.24]The oldest orphan in the John grier home
[01:19.76]Little Tommy Dylan comes singing up the stairs
[01:23.13]Jerusha Abbott
[01:25.31]You are wanted
[01:27.14]In the office
[01:29.17]And you better hurry up
[01:31.94]Who wants me
[01:33.30]Mrs Lippett
[01:35.19]In the office
[01:37.21]And I think she's really mad
[01:41.80]Where did I go wrong
[01:44.67]Were the sandwiches not thin enough
[01:46.79]Were there shells in the nutcakes
[01:50.68]Where did I go wrong
[01:53.85]Did a lady visitor
[01:55.87]See the hole in Susie Hawthorne's stocking
[02:06.68]A perfectly awful day
[02:08.40]A silhouetted figure
[02:10.33]Tall and gangly
[02:12.32]Shrouded in the darkness
[02:14.44]I cannot see his face
[02:16.37]But the headlights in the driveway
[02:18.24]Cast a shadow
[02:20.28]Sharp against the wall
[02:22.34]Looking like a daddy long legs
[02:26.16]The biggest one that I had ever seen
[02:30.19]A creeping crawling daddy long legs
[02:34.37]And it makes me laugh
[02:37.81]On this awful day
[02:40.16]Me Jerusha Abbott
