Mr. Gellman’s Shirt Lyrics

[CAROLINE]
Sixteen feet beneath the sea

[ROSE]
Caroline, look at Mr. Gellman's shirt!
He must've left a quarter
In the front breast pocket
You must've ironed over it
Look
It's the head
Of the Father of our country
Mr. George Washington
Seared into the fabric
Like the face of Jesus
On the Shroud of Turin
So I guess Mr. Gellman has to learn the rule
He loses any change he leaves
And you can keep it
Just like Noah's, you can keep it
Just like Noah's

[CAROLINE]
I don't want it
I ain't some ragpick
Ain't some jackdaw

[ROSE]
Of course you're not a-

[CAROLINE]
I don't want your husband's money

[ROSE]
Oh, it's not your fault about the quarter

[CAROLINE]
I got a load of laundry left
So excuse me, Mrs. Gellman
From now one I'll check every pocket
Put the money in the bleach cup
His and Noah's, yours as well

[ROSE]
Oh, I never leave my money in my pockets
My father would've 'whupped' me, smacked me

[CAROLINE]
If I find money now
I put it in the bleach cup
And you people do
Whatever you want with it
Take the damn money
Mrs. Gellman
Stop bothering me with it
You need anything else?
You need anything
Anything
Anything else?

[ROSE]
Now, wait a second

[CAROLINE]
I got to iron now
Iron now, iron now
It cramped in here and there's no air
So, please get out
So my arm can swing with this hot iron
And not hit nobody
