Is It A Crime?

mother and dad handed down to me
 a bit of their old philosophy
 i've stuck to it like an obidient daughter
 but it always lands me in hot water
 i'd gladly follow up your suggestions
 if you'd give me the answers to these questions
 please tell me is it a crime
 to start each day with a laugh, and a smile and a song
 and is it a crime to end each day
 with a laugh and a smile and a song
 is it wrong is it a crime to call the world your valentine
 is it a crime to grab a lamp post and then sing sweet???????
 is it a crime to save a wee baby bird when it falls it's nest
 that little bird should have a chance to fly like all the rest
 if it's a crime to help old ladies cross the street
 then put me in jail without bail
 bread and water from an old tin can
 if that's if that's a crime
 is it a crime inspector i'm puzzled
 we're taught two things as we go through life
 one, be thy brothers keeper
 and two, mind your own business
 with a laugh and a smile and a song
 now if i know something and by telling it to someone in disstress
 i could change that persons life and
 bring them the blue bird of happiness
 is it a crime to tell them?
 or is it a crime not to?
 it is that you musn't or that you got to?
 should you say hey, watch out for that banana peel bud!
 or just remain silent and then laugh
 as he crashes with a thud
 inspector my job is to give people messages on time
 if i have a job and i see it through
 then it's just my duty that i do, do, do
 is that, is that
 inspector let's go back a few thousand years
 if there had been answering services then
 and it had been up to me
 i could have changed the course of history
 i could have prevented many a famous tragedy
 with a laugh and a smile and a song
 for every night i lay in bed my cheeks, my cheeks grow soaking wet
 when i think of what i could have done
 for romeo and juliet
 hello verona phone
 oh yes mister romeo
 juliet capulet called
 the message is:
 to aviod getting married to other fellow and playing dead
 this friar lawrence gave me a great big sleeping
 pill, but when i wake up we'll head for the boarder
 oh, don't thank me! it's all in a days work
 see what i could have done
 maybe i'm right maybe i'm wrong
 but if i got that message through on time i'm telling you
 those two kids would be alive today
 so if it's a crime to help old ladies
 cross the street
 then i'll confess i'm just a mess
 mother and dad you were wrong i guess
 inspector were they wrong
 thank you!!!
