She climbs a tree
And scrapes her knee
Her dress has got a tear.
She waltzes on her way to B'n'Paws,
And whistles on the stair.
And underneath her wimple
She has curlers in her hair!
Lili's not a role model for the town,
She�s always late for school,
But her penitence is real.
She�s always late for everything,
Except for every meal.
I hate to have to say it
But I very firmly feel
Lili's not a role model to the town,
I�d like to say a word in her behalf.
Lili makes me laugh!
How do you solve a problem like Lili?
How do you catch a cloud and pin it down?
How do you find a word that means Lili?
A flibberti gibbet!
A willo� the wisp!
A clown!
Many a thing you know you�d like to tell her,
Many a thing she ought to understand.
But how do you make her stay
And listen to all you say,
How do you keep a wave upon the sand?
Oh, how do you solve a problem like Lili?
How do you hold a moonbeam in your hand?
When I�m with her I�m confused
Out of focus and bemused,
And I never know exactly where I am.
Unpredictable as weather,
She�s as flighty as a feather,
She�s a darling,
She�s a demon,
She�s a lamb.
She�d out-pester any pest,
Drive a hornet from his nest,
She could throw a whirling dervish
Out of whirl.
She is gentle,
She is wild,
She�s a riddle.
She�s a child.
She�s a headache!
She�s an angel!
She�s a girl.
How do you solve a problem like Lili?
