The teacher said its time to think about the annual play To be put on next month and sponsored by the PTA Most of you have seen the script And now the question is Who would like to play the part of Honey The part calls for a lady Who was beauty wit and charm Who falls in love with Jerry Walsh of Merry Meadow Farm In the end They marry and go off to see the world Now who would like to play the part of Honey The hand of Sally Jordon slowly raised into the air Other members of the class All turned around to stare For Sally Jordon was a poor girl It was plain to see She could never play the part of Honey The teacher just pretended that she didnt see a hand Instead she picked the daughter of a very wealthy man Poor and pretty Sally Sat there holding back her tears She wanted so to play the part of Honey The play went off without her And as graduation came Sally Jordon went away And they forgot her name But Sally Jordon never did forget the high school play She didnt get to play the part of Honey One day There was news about a movie in the town People came to see it for a hundred miles around For there was someone in it that the population knew Sally Jordon played the part of Honey Perhaps the moral of the storys Neither here nor there For beauty is as beauty does And wit and charm are airs When all has been considered Its difficult to tell Just who it is that fits the part of Honey
