“Lucy of the Skies”
Lyrics: C. Webster - Music: M. Novak
One legged Lucy, dreamed of blue skies
Being told her best feature were her eyes
She would light up a room with a twinkle
Her rosy checks both had a deep dimple
Lucy of the skies
How she lost a leg, was never divulged
Many say that she may have over indulged
Folks would ask with kind empathy
She just smiled to show clemency
CHORUS:
Lucy – Paints the sky blue
With many splendid hues
Lucy – Standing on high
Lucy – Paints the sky
Lucy of the skies
As her home was on top of a hill
A few thought it might be from a bad spill
Maybe it was struck by lightning and thunder
How she managed was steeped in wonder
Lucy of the skies
It had to be hard to get there and back
She moved so quickly with one boot of black
Strangest thing of all you never saw a cane
Or knew from where she just came
Lucy of the skies
CHORUS:
Lucy was committed and never missed a day
When clouds are forecast she made the sky gray
Sad as she would be, the sky should be blue
She attended to her business, and always on cue
They often wondered what was under her disguise
Lucy the one legged Goddess of the skies
Atop her ladder she placed her clouds
Her handful of sky created a shroud.
CHORUS:
