There He Was lyrics

CATHERINE
When I first saw Pippin he was lying in the road like a discarded rag. I would have passed him by.
(Sings)

PERHAPS I SHOULD HAVE PASSED HIM BY
BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT HIS FOOT
YES ... IT WAS THE ARCH OF HIS FOOT
THAT CAUGHT MY EYE

(Spoken)
What I did was merely an act of Christian charity. After all, I had no idea that this discarded rag would clean up so well.

THERE HE WAS
HE DIDN`T KNOW WHERE HE WAS
AND HE LOOKED SO LOST AND EXHAUSTED
YOU`D ALMOST SWEAR HE WAS DEAD
SO I SAID:
PICK HIM UP, PUT HIM TO BED
SEE THAT HE`S BATHED AND CLOTHED AND FED
AS I SAID, HOW COULD I FORTELL
THAT HE`D CLEAN UP, OH, SO VERY WELL
IMAGINE MY SURPRISE
WHEN I RAISED MY EYES
AND THERE HE WAS
