AUNT POLLY'S SOLILOQUY
From the film: "Tom Sawyer" aka "A Musical Adaptation of Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer" - 1973
(Robert B. Sherman / Richard M. Sherman)
Celeste Holm (Aunt Polly)


Tom Sawyer
That irresponsible child
Tom goes off with Huck
Swimmin' in the nude

Tom hold wonders in his mind
But he just won't learn
And he just keep turnin' away

Tom Sawyer
The devil's got him in tow
Raises Cain in school
If he'll ever go
Though he tries my poor heart so
Oh, Lord, please spare him
And, Lord, take care of
My Tom
