Molly with a Glass Eye
First performed 10/93

Molly had a glass eye
But nobody could tell
Not even her boyfriend
Because she hid it so well
And if he ever noticed that her eyeballs didn't quite line up
She'd laugh and say that she was imitating Peter Falk
He loved Molly's pretty face
But wondered if something was out of place
Oh, Molly!

Molly had a glass eye
She was normal otherwise
The couple went for dinner
And he looked into her eyes
And even though his date with Molly was a wonderful night
Just then he got the feeling that something there was not quite right
Molly, he didn't know what to do
When you ordered that oyster stew
Oh, Molly!

Well Molly Molly me I admit that I can never know
What it's like to not see in stereo
And Molly Molly you are as cool as a person can be
But all I ask is that you please don't stare at me, oh no
Oh, Molly!

Molly was a swimmer
She was the captain of her team
At the final race of the season
It was the race of Molly's dreams
She dove so high and hit the water so hard
That her glass eye was rolling in her goggles before she could swim a yard
And from that night everybody knowed
That Molly's always carrying an extra load
Oh, Molly!

Well Molly Molly me I admit that I can never know
What it's like to not see in stereo
And Molly Molly you are as cool as a person can be
But all I ask is that you please don't stare at me, oh no
Oh, Molly!
Oh, Molly!
Oh, Molly!
