I Know Now

[LUCY]
I know now that you can't trust a daisy
They blab every chance they get

[SALLY]
I know now it's impossible to rain a violet

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
I know now that the price of a thought is a penny

[SALLY]
I know now why the kids never sell very many

[SALLY/PEPPERMINT PATTY]
If any

[LUCY]
I know now that you can't bounce a snowball

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
You can, but not very high

[ALL]
Just think of it, gee, how great it would be
If I can go back somehow
And have my life to live over knowing what I know now

[LUCY]
I know now that you can't ring a bluebell

[SALLY]
Well, not loud enough to hear

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
I know now that a weeping willow never sheds a tear

[SALLY]
I know now that you can't trade a bike for a brother

[LUCY]
I know now that you can't ever win with your mother

[SALLY/PEPPERMINT PATTY]
Or Father; Further

[ALL]
I know now that you can't pack your troubles in any kit bag that's made
Just think of it, gee, how great it would be
If I can go back somehow
And have my life to live over

[SALLY]
Knowing what I know

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
Knowing what I know

[LUCY]
Knowing what I know

[ALL]
Now

[LUCY]
I know now that you can't lace a shoefly

[SALLY]
You can't live on bubblegum

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
I know now that I'll never learn to spell chrysanthemum

[SALLY]
I know now that you can't buy a bike for a dollar

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
I know now that you can't fit a flea with a collar

(spoken)
Get it, Sally?

[LUCY]
I know now that you can't milk a cowslick

[PEPPERMINT PATTY]
You can but it takes know how

[ALL]
Just think of it, gee, how great it would be
If I can go back somehow
And have my life to live over knowing what I know
Knowing what I know, knowing what I know now
